A tall annual, Senorita Blanca Spider Flower Cleome is an hybrid improvement over traditional cleomes. Its white spidery blooms sway over dark green foliage making it a wonderful addition to your garden, landscape or large container garden. It is a continuous, long season bloomer that will bring a touch of whimsy to your sun garden.
Improved for performance and vigor, this Senorita Blanca hybrid will not reseed, and does not have sticky foliage or thorns. It sports a slightly smaller bloom than traditional cleomes, but behaves so much nicer in your annual or perennial garden. Native to the SW United States, South American and the West Indies, Zones 10a through 11b, this sun loving annual in Zones 3-9 will give you non-stop blooms from spring until fall.
Señorita Blanca Spider Flower Care
Cleomes are heat and drought tolerant once established and require only occasional watering and fertilizing when planted in ground. Container gardens will require only light maintenance on your part. Although fairly pest resistant, there have been some incidences in the Deep South where stem borers cause wilt and tip die off. The caterpillar responsible for this is the same that attacks cabbage related crops in your vegetable garden and can be controlled with applications of DiPel, a natural bacterium that the caterpillar consumes and dies off, but is safe for use around humans and pets.
Deadheading is not required and no pruning is recommended. Plant this tall annual in the background of your garden beds or landscapes, and as a center spike in your large container garden. Cleome pairs beautifully with petunias, superbenas, calibrachoas, coleus, caladiums as well as many, many other annuals and grasses. Your imagination is your only limit here.
Señorita Blanca Spider Flower Spacing
Spacing is important as adequate air flow is crucial to reduce any chances of plant diseases from forming. Growing to about 4 feet tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, spacing plants 12 to 18 inches apart will help you accomplish this. Cleomes look wonderful in breezy locations as their icy white blossoms sway in the wind, creating a dramatic display for your senses.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
