Last fall I had a plant growing that I had forgotten the name of. That which was a Cleome i.d. this plant please ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden ) I had brought this plant in this winter because I felt it wasn't done with its cycle yet. Here it is today. My cleome plant ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden ) Here's an upclose picture. white Cleome ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden )
I love cleome! Never grown it indoors. The first time I planted cleome seeds, they were VERY prolific in my well composted flower bed. They grew quite tall and bloomed beautifully. Then for several years after that, they happily self-sowed all over my garden! I had to pull seedlings to keep them from taking over! Now I buy little plants to have in my sunny border, and do not leave them in the ground over Winter.
You've got a Cleome inside? Well done you! It's lovely. I've never managed to grow them. Our summers are too short it seems.
We have a bit of the same prob here, Droopy. I have to let mine get big indoors while the frost is still on the ground and then plant the plantlets out in may when all chance of frost has gone. They are almost two months old by then.
