Spider Flower (Cleome hassleriana)

Spider Flower adds airy height and a fireworks-like bloom show that keeps borders feeling light, not bulky, from early summer until frost. The flowers hover on tall stems with long, threadlike stamens, giving the plant a unique texture that looks great behind fuller perennials and annuals. It also attracts plenty of garden activity, including bees and butterflies, which makes the whole bed feel more alive. If you want fast, warm-season color with a see-through habit that still reads from a distance, this plant is a strong choice.

Distinctive Features

This fast-growing annual forms an upright, lightly branching plant with palmate green leaves and showy flower clusters in white, pink, rose, or purple tones. Bloom typically runs from early summer through frost, with flowers opening along an ever-lengthening terminal cluster as the season progresses. Slender seed pods form below the blooms and can lead to self-seeding if left in place, and some forms may have small spines along the stems. Mature size is commonly about 3 to 6 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide, depending on variety and growing conditions.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with the best flowering and strongest habit in full sun.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil, and it performs best in amended garden soil that is not waterlogged.
  • Water: Medium, water to establish, then provide steady moisture for best growth while tolerating some dryness once established.
  • Zones: USDA Zones 10 to 11 as a short-lived perennial, grown as an annual elsewhere.
  • Notable Traits: Attracts pollinators and hummingbirds, may self-seed, and older types may have spiny stems.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use a bold drift as a focal point so the tall stems and spider-like blooms create a dramatic summer veil of color.
  • Back of Border: Plant behind shorter flowers to add height and an airy backdrop without blocking the view.
  • Seasonal Screening: Use in a row for quick warm-season privacy and soft visual separation.
  • Cottage Gardens: Mix with other upright bloomers for a relaxed, classic garden look with constant movement.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Support: Provide light staking in windy sites, since tall stems can lean as plants mature.
  • Watering: Water during extended drought to keep plants blooming and prevent stress-related leaf drop.
  • Seed Control: Remove seed pods if you want to limit self-seeding and keep the planting tidier.
  • Feeding: Avoid overfertilizing, since excessive fertility can lead to leggy growth and fewer flowers.

Why Choose Spider Flower?

  • Long Bloom Season: Flowers from early summer until frost for a steady warm-season display.
  • Airy Height: Typically reaches about 3 to 6 feet tall for vertical impact without heaviness.
  • Pollinator Friendly: Draws bees, butterflies, and often hummingbirds for a more active garden.
  • Fast Results: Grows quickly and fills space well, making it useful for seasonal color and screening.

Spider Flower looks best when planted in groups, letting the blooms read as a floating layer rather than isolated stems. Pair it with mounding flowers and ornamental grasses to balance the height and keep the planting feeling full at ground level. Give it sun and good drainage, then water as needed to keep growth steady through heat. If you want tall, airy summer color with a unique texture, this plant delivers.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.
