Cleome hassleriana, commonly known as spider flower or spider plant, is a fast-growing, tender annual native to South America and widely cultivated as an ornamental for its exotic appearance and long flowering season. It typically reaches 90–150 cm in height, forming an upright, open habit with sturdy, often prickly stems and palmately compound leaves composed of five to seven narrow, lance-shaped leaflets. From early summer until frost, the plant produces large, airy flower clusters (racemes) at the tips of the stems, composed of numerous pink, rose, lavender, purple, or white flowers distinguished by their long, protruding stamens, which give the blooms their characteristic spider-like form. The flowers are rich in nectar and highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Following flowering, elongated seed pods develop, extending outward from the flower stalks and adding further ornamental interest. Cleome hassleriana thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates heat and moderate drought once established, and performs best with minimal disturbance, as it resents transplanting. Easily grown from seed, it often self-sows freely in suitable conditions, making it a popular choice for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and wildlife-friendly plantings where height, movement, and continuous color are desired.
