Notes

'Senorita Mi Amor' large clammyweed (Cleome 'Senorita Mi Amor') 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. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. It blooms from early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the flowers.

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