2002 AAS Flower Winner
Cleome Sparkler Blush F1
Sparkler Blush flowers freely all season. The plants are covered with pink flowers and are more refined, reaching only 3 feet tall and wide. This smaller size allows gardeners to grow this old-fashioned annual in gardens with less space and not overwhelm the design. Sparkler Blush is easy-to-grow, needing only sun and nutrients in the soil. Heat and drought tolerant, Sparkler Blush is a carefree plant. Adaptable to most soil types and growing conditions, Sparkler Blush is the first hybrid cleome, which is evident in the freedom of bloom.
