I thought I checked but I guess I missed it, so a belated thank you for your reply. I found two plants in a garden center and put them in but then my previous cleomes came up in mass and the garden was beautiful!, It was later than I expected, I think it was in late June. And most came up exactly where they were last year. I am looking to scatter some seeds elsewhere now and wonder if there is anything special to be done.

If I were you, I would continue to garden and see what happens in the spot. Although, I have noticed that sometimes cleomes will grow again from a little tiny "bulb" produced at the base of the plant.

If you're lucky, some of the seeds will remain dormant and sprout the following year.

I was told that would reseed by themselves and I foolishly didn't do anything to save the seeds. Now I am wondering if they actually took or maybe got blown away. When will they start to come up if they did take? I am afraid to plant anything else there until I know about the cleome. They were perfect for the spot I have and hope they will come back. (I will save the seeds next time if they do!) Can you tell me when I can expect to see them? I live in northwestern NJ.

We started these indoors in October. By now, they are 6 feet tall and have come home with me! It appears as though their 'musk' is unpopular. I LOVE IT! I plan on using the seeds to create a fantastic hedge of cleome. I think they will not only draw attention for their beauty, but due to the thorns, keeps people from cutting through my yard!!Colettehttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/cndaltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-2818732028434618662010-10-06T01:02:10.075-05:002010-10-06T01:02:10.075-05:00@Anonymous,
