Notes
'Señorita Blanca' large clammyweed (Cleome 'Señorita Blanca') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Its fragrant flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also tolerates drought. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Black Knight butterfly bush, Statice, and Creme de Cassis dahlia.
