Hey Suze - I am by no means a Cleome expert - we grew them last year for the first time. You know what sort of summer we had - hot, humid, drought - the plants bloomed right up till frost, and they show they are dry by visibly wilting - but come right back once watered. When i say prolific self seeders, I mean extremely prolific! We've pulled and tossed hundreds of seedlings, leaving the strongest to grow on.
