Averaging three to four feet in height, cleomes provide a welcome focal point in the annual garden where compact bedding plants tend to rule. What's more, the upright plants need no staking. The pink, purple, white, and lavender flowers complement many garden designs, while pleasing visiting pollinators as well.
