Cleome Lavender Dreams

Compact Upright

Compact cleome is 30% smaller than the leading vegetative variety, so it won’t take over in the garden.
It has soft thorns instead of the sharp, wood thorns usually found on cleome, making it easier to handle and ship.
The heat and drought-tolerant cleome lasts until first frost.
An excellent addition to any pollinator program; butterflies, bees and hummingbirds love it!
