Very Healthy Plant

The Senorita Blanca Cleome was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Its leaves look strong and healthy. Although there are no blooms on it yet, I believe there should be soon.

Senorita Blanca Cleome (Spider Flower)

These soft white Cleome flowers contrast so nicely with my pretty purple ones. Thank You, GrowJoy! Nancy Gebhardt

Very pretty

I am so glad you supply plants. I have tried growing them from seed with no luck. These are so full and pretty and the flowers just keep coming.
