Notes
'Señorita Rosalita' large clammyweed (Cleome 'Señorita Rosalita') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant blooms open from early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Strawflower, Black Knight butterfly bush, Creme de Cassis dahlia, and Papyrus.
