Señorita Rosalita® Spider Flower

Señorita Rosalita® is an upright, heat-tolerant hybrid cleome with vivid pink flowers and dark green foliage. Its sterile flowers do not set seed, and the plant retains foliage lower on the stems than traditional cleomes, making it useful where a clean, long-season display is wanted ([Proven Winners plant profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/cleome/se-orita-rosalita-spider-flower-cleome)). ## Garden use Plant it in full-sun landscape beds or large containers for height and a steady display of flowers. Proven Winners gives a mature height of 2–4 ft and a spread of 18–24 in; this record retains its existing 1 m height and 0.5 m width points, with labels of 2–4 ft and 18–24 in. Flowers attract pollinators, and blooming can continue from spring into fall depending on climate. ## Growing conditions Provide full sun and allow room for the upright habit. The breeder describes the plant as heat tolerant and recommends it for landscape beds and large planters. Keep new plantings watered while they establish. ## Maintenance Deadheading is not needed for seed control because the flowers are sterile. Trim aging stems only when needed to refresh the display; avoid overwatering and maintain fertility for dark foliage.
