Description
Cleome lutea
Excellent pollinator plant! Great Basin native!
This beautiful cousin of our beloved Rocky Mountain Bee Plant has all the same intrigue--beautiful leaves, oddball growth habit, luscious long-blooming flowers with oh-so-accessible stamens--but it's a bit shorter, reaching roughly 2 1/2 feet tall, and it has yellow flowers instead of purple ones. Delightfully reseeding annual. Best sown in fall or early spring for summer blooms. The pollinators will love you for planting this plant!

Seeds were sustainably wildcrafted in the Great Basin by Kyle and friends at Native-Seed Company.
50 seeds.
Directions: Direct seed in fall for spring germination. Water when soil is very dry in winter.
