Señorita Rosalita Spider Flower is a fast-growing tender perennial treated as an annual with a compact upright habit. Rigid stems sport compound palmate foliage. The terminal clusters of lavender-pink flowers with four petals and elongated stamen bloom continuously through summer until frost. Flowers best in full sun and dry to average, well-drained soils. Tolerates heat and drought once established. The Señorita series is thornless, odorless, without the sticky foliage or seedpods, and disease resistant.
