How to grow Sparkler Blush Cleome seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after all frost danger has passed - cleome dislikes root disturbance.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface and press in gently - light is required for germination.
• Keep evenly moist until sprouting.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light.
• Temperature: 68-77°F (20-25°C).

Germination

• Seedlings typically emerge in 10-14 days.
• Transplant young, as older seedlings resent being moved.

Transplanting

• Plant out after frost, handling the root ball gently.
• Space plants 12-18 inches apart for airflow.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Water regularly; tolerates drier conditions once established.
• Fertilizer: Avoid heavy feeding - too much nitrogen produces leaves at the expense of flowers.
• Deadhead to prolong blooming; it self-sows readily if heads are left.

Bloom Time:

Summer to first frost.
