Notes

'Pequena Rosalita' large clammyweed (Cleome 'Pequena Rosalita') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. It is drought tolerant and needs little care. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms, which open from early to late summer and again in autumn.

Pairs well with Mexican sunflower, Snapdragon, and First Knight fountain grass.
