Cleome seeds require sunlight to germinate. Plant Spacing: Plant cleome seeds or thin seedlings 12" to 24" apart. Germination Period: Cleome germinates in 7 to 21 days, most often at the 14-day mark under optimal conditions. Indoor Seed Starting: You can start your seeds indoors, under lights, 4 to 6 weeks prior to the last spring frost, on a heat mat set to 70-75F. Once your plants have emerged and reached a height of 6" (be sure to keep the lights just above the seedling, raising it as necessary, to prevent leggedness) transplant them outdoors or into large containers. Transplanted cleomes typically don't thrive as well as direct-sown plants. Customer Service: Your success is our success.
