Cleome
The cleome is a large, delicate flower. A show stopper in the garden and great for your cut flower bouquets.
Often planted in public gardens as well as parks and golf courses, the flower atracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
These flowers will bloom in full sun to part shade, but like to be kept moist. Water as soon as the top few inches of soil is dry.
I must warn you about the scent though. They have a pungent odor...kind of smells like skunk!
