Cleome hassleriana tolerates hot and dry conditions, although it tends to be leggier in moisture-deprived areas. Put in bedding plants now or start seeds indoors next March and plant when the weather heats up in early summer.
Also called Cleome pungens and C. spinoca, it blooms from July until frost.
