It is distinct from the ornamental Cleome hassleriana selections. ## Idaho — BLM fire resistance score 5 The [Southern Idaho master database](https://pocatello.gov/DocumentCenter/View/609/Fire-Resistance-of-Plants--Master-Database-for-Southern-Idaho-PDF), printed page 31, assigns this row score 5. The guide prints the older name Cleome serrulata, Rocky Mountain beeplant, with 48 by 24 inches, zone 4, sun to partial shade and low water. It notes reseeding, drought tolerance and late-summer flowers. This source row is not a rating of every Cleome or Cleomella species. Manage dry growth and unwanted reseeding; the source’s maintenance conditions matter. The numerical score belongs to this regional placement system, not a guarantee of fireproofness; other regional sources remain separate.
