Clio Magenta Spider Flower (Cleome 'Clio Magenta') is a bold, architectural warm-season annual that commands attention with large, luminous magenta-pink flower heads clustered atop strong, upright stems. Unlike older heirloom cleome varieties, Clio Magenta is a compact, well-mannered selection with a tidy, self-supporting habit, minimal spines, and dramatically reduced self-seeding — all the drama and pollinator appeal of the classic spider flower, reimagined for the modern garden. The intricate, spidery flowers with their long, trailing stamens create a uniquely exotic and elegant visual effect that draws the eye from across the garden.

Cultivated from Professional Grade root systems, Clio Magenta performs with exceptional vigor in the heat of summer, continuing to bloom and push new flower heads from planting through frost without deadheading. Its strong vertical presence makes it a natural choice as a back-of-border accent, a "thriller" in large container compositions, or a dramatic focal point in cottage, tropical-inspired, and pollinator garden designs. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds flock to its nectar-rich blooms throughout the peak summer season.

Why You'll Love It

  • Luminous Magenta-Pink Flower Heads: Large, intensely colored magenta-pink flower clusters with long trailing stamens create a bold, exotic visual statement that energizes borders, containers, and pollinator garden designs from midsummer through frost.
  • Improved Compact Habit: Clio series cleome offers a tidier, more compact, and self-supporting growth habit than traditional heirloom varieties — no staking needed, reduced spines, and dramatically less unwanted self-seeding.
  • Hummingbird & Butterfly Magnet: Abundantly nectar-rich blooms are irresistible to hummingbirds, swallowtail butterflies, monarch butterflies, and native bees throughout the warm season.
  • Heat-Powered Non-Stop Bloomer: Thrives in the intense heat of midsummer and blooms continuously without deadheading from late spring through the first hard frost, delivering sustained color all season.
  • Dramatic Vertical Structure: Upright, architectural stems provide valuable height and bold visual structure in the garden — an ideal "thriller" companion in mixed borders and large patio containers.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun in well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Water consistently until established; once rooted, Cleome tolerates moderate dry spells with impressive resilience. A heat-loving warm-season annual: plant after all danger of frost has passed and enjoy non-stop color through the growing season until the first fall frost. Does not tolerate frost. No deadheading required. Pinch tips lightly at transplanting to encourage a fuller, more branched habit and maximize the flower count throughout the season.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.
