I'd love some, Organic Kitten! I've never grown cleome and I love seeing it in pictures. :-)

Just send me an email, and I'll send you my address. They are very easy to grow, and you get a lot of bloom from a tiny seed. They do self sow freely, but are easy to pull up if they sow where you don't want them.

Got My Seeds from Hazzard's & Cleome Question
Q
Comments (7)
I have had good luck germinating cleome seeds this way: Sow them into four inch pots with a light dusting of soil over the seeds. Water gently but thoroughly and let drain in the sink for an hour or so, until all draining has stopped. Then put the pots into ziploc bags and put them in the refrigerator for two weeks. (Mark your calendar for when it's time to remove them. You won't remember.) Then bring them out into temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees and expose them to bright light. They should germinate within two weeks. In the interest of saving space in the fridge, I usually put alot of seeds in the pots and then prick them out into individual pots after they get their first true leaves. Be sure to handle them by the leaves instead of the stem. Because it can take up to a month to get them germinated, cleome is one plant that should be started 10 to 12 weeks before planting out time. They are rampant self seeders here. I mulch heavily so that I will get just "enough" plants instead of a jungle. I am another big fan of Hazzard's Seeds. Their quality is top notch and their prices unbeatable if you use seeds in large quantity, which I do. I love the Bible verses they put on their stuff. The thoughts never fail to give me a lift during the day. Who doesn't need that?

Help with Cleome Seeds
Q
Comments (7)
Last summer I scattered cleome seeds around. The only ones which have been successful were the ones that grew where they fell on their own. In fact they were way TOO successful and I had to thin out about 75 plants!! They did not transplant very well. I am going to try to collect some and wintersow, transplant them earlier and see how things go next year. This year they have bloomed slightly (2-3 weeks)later, mostly purple (last summer I had bought white and purple) but a couple of beautiful pink ones have been a nice surprise. They seem to be one of the very few plants that the bunnies don't like. Brodie

Cleome - where are the seeds
Q
Comments (13)
They will reseed easily here in Ontario, Canada! I have cleome growing in different parts of my garden and I did not plant any of them there. I think some of the seeds must have landed in some containers that were nearby and I composted my container soil last fall and reused it in a new lasagne bed for tomatoes which now have 3 cleome plants in it, one white, one pink and one purple. There are also other volunteers around the area where I did plant them last year. Ditto for Malva Zebrina and Braveheart. Lucky I like them or they may be considered a weed by some other gardener. One more thing about the cleome, if you dont want volunteers, cut off the pods before they spring open themselves, the rest of the flower will continue to bloom for some time after. Cheers Mary Anne

Rita,
I'll send you some seeds and you can toss them out or toss them in the trash. You don't have to pre-plant it. It wll grow all by itself.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I can't deal with starting anything now. Its far too late in the year. I even have some zinnia and some red cosmos in flates here that I started from seed that I still haven't gotten planted in ground. And itts almost August. No matter what my plans for the garden or how much I do, I just never do get to get absolutly everthing I had hoped for done. But I am not really complaining about the garden as I did get so much done this year. And I am still working, currently on moving some daylilies around.
