Spider Flower 'Rose Queen', Spider Plant 'Rose Queen', Pink Queen 'Rose Queen', Cleome spinosa 'Rose Queen', Cleome 'Rose Queen'
Adding vertical interest and delicate airiness to the perennial border, Cleome hassleriana ‘Rose Queen’ is a fast-growing annual plant with dramatic huge, loose balls, 5-6 in. across (12-15 cm) of sweetly fragrant, rose-pink flowers with fascinating long stamens that protrude out, giving them a spider-like look. Fading to pale pink as they mature, they rise above a handsome foliage of aromatic, palmate green leaves with a spine at the base of each leaf. The attractive blooms are followed by thin seed pods that will split open before dispersing the seed within. Blooming over a reasonably long period, from early summer until frost, Spider Flower remains attractive in the cold season thanks to its dried flower heads, which will be visited in fall by birds that feed on the seeds.
