How Tall Does Cleome Get. Over the course of one summer cleomes can grow 3 to 6 feet tall with a spread of 2 feet. Why we love it.
Cleome also called spider flower is an annual with delicate foliage and dainty upright blooms in shades of pink lavender and white. There are also some very simple but less accurate methods available. The leaves have thorns at their base.
Well-branched with a nice upright bushy growth habit and rich green foliage.
It is grown as an annual in most US growing zones though it is perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 10 and 11. Lower-growing plants camouflage the bare lower stems of the cleome. The leaves have thorns at their base. Tall robust plants growing 3 to 5 feet tall with hand-shaped leaves produce large heads of delicate flowers.
