Early article Is the spider flower hardy?The Cleome spinosa, the "right" spider flower, dies with the first frost. But since it forms plenty of seeds and these also generously scattered, that's not bad. The seeds overwinter on the bed, take no damage from the frost and germinate easily the next spring. Of course, you can also pick the seeds, sow them in the house during the winter, and thus prefer young plants in time.
