HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting the seed just below the surface of the soil; these spider plant seeds need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Cleome Hassleriana seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 30 days before direct sowing. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which should occur within 30-35 days. Seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; plant the spider plant flower seeds on the surface of a flat, keeping the moisture consistent and the temperature around 70 degrees F.
Growing: Water the plants regularly until they become established. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought well, and should not need watering unless the soil becomes very dry. Remove tips of the developing stems to encourage branching and bushy growth. Since this plant can become aggressive in its reseeding, deadhead spent blossoms. If aphids threaten the plants, discourage them by spraying them off with a stream of water; repeat until they have gone. This plant attracts birds, hummingbirds, and butterflies as well as deterring rabbits.
Harvesting: Spider Plant makes a good cut flower, though the entire plant does have a unique fragrance that some find unappealing. Watch out for the thorns on the underside of the leaves and on the stems.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the Cleome Hassleriana plant will produce thin 2" pods that ripen to a light brown; the ripe seed will also be light and dark brown. Remove the pods as soon as they ripen to prevent loss, since they will eventually split and release their seed. Spread out the pods away from direct sunlight to dry completely. Split the dry pods open and remove the seed. Store the cleaned spider plant seeds in a cool, dry place.

Good things come in beautiful packages...
I really can't write a review on these seeds yet, because they are to be planted for next year. All I can say is that I always come back to Everwilde Farms Inc. for most of my seeds because they are always good seeds. The packaging is beautiful, and the seeds are always quickly mailed to me. I love that there is a Bible verse on each seed package. I'm expecting these seeds to be as good as all my previous purchases. Thank you.
seeds came right away
i ordered cleome seeds to winter sow them as they do very well with this method. nice variety of colors in this pack of seeds.
Happy with seed
My order arrived promptly and I'm tickled with the seed.
Great
Great price fast shipping what else could you want
For my wife.
Wife loves spider plants, will surprise her next year.
Need to show up next spring
Great to find these to get in soil for next spring.
Hoping for lots of white ones.
Have grown this annual for years. Never can find seed separated as to colors.
So I'll grow a bunch and then look at the stems of the seedlings and pick the palest stems to continue. Some will be pale pink and I hope that some will be white!
Sow far sow good (get it?)
I ordered these too late to plant right now. These are supposed to be sown either in the fall or early spring. If I can judge on the quick shipping speed and impressive packing of the shipment and the seeds, I anticipate a bumper crop. I will do my best to update next season. Thank you for the excellent service!
