Sowing & Growing

Begin your Cleome by sowing indoors during late winter to early spring (January to March). It’s essential to provide a two-week cold, moist stratification period before sowing to enhance germination. Subsequently, sow the seeds on the surface of fine compost indoors at 18-24°C, ensuring they receive sufficient light for germination. Once the seedlings have developed well, transplant them individually and nurture them under cover. Promote the growth of additional shoots by pinching out the tips, but exercise caution during handling, as Cleome is sensitive to root disturbance.
