Early summer downunder:  Cleome spinosa hybrid - 'Senorita Rosalita' (Cleome spinosa)

Often called Spider Flowers - this Cleome flowers right through spring, summer and autumn. It's a firm favourite for a dry, hot garden.

I'm hoping it lives up to it's reputation PP - this particular variety is supposed to be able to survive our summer up here and still flower for months.

I haven't seen that colour before , pink and white but not mauve.

This hybrid does have a lovely colour Wyeboy - purple is one of my most loved garden colours so that was one of the reasons why I bought it!

Hi Marguerite - yes this one was new to the nurseries up here this year. So far it's lived up to all the hype - definitely like the heat, doesn't mind being dry and seems to flower all the time.
