Hello friends,
The plant referred to is known scientifically as Cleome hassleriana. In many places, it is commonly called the spider plant.
This plant is classified as an annual, meaning that it completes its life cycle within one growing season.
Cleome hassleriana is valued for its striking summer flowers, and if you wish to experience the beauty of this tall and eye-catching plant, you need to sow its seeds each spring.
It is important to note that if frosty conditions occur, they will likely hinder the plant's full growth, preventing you from seeing the flowers at their maximum size during that growing season.
The name spider plant makes sense when you observe the flowers in full bloom. From a distance, the cluster of flowers can appear as if it is adorned with a delicate spider web.
However, what you are actually seeing are the seed pods that surround the blooms, resembling a web-like structure.
This unique feature adds to the attractiveness of Cleome hassleriana, making it a popular choice among gardeners looking for distinctive and visually appealing flowers.
