How to Grow Wild Spider Flowers

Choose a sunny location in your garden and enrich the soil. Start indoors six weeks before your last frost and keep the soil warm. Transplant outdoors once your soil temperature is at least 60°F. Be sure to harden your seedlings off before transplanting.

Harvesting Spider Flowers

Harvest the leaves and flowers of this variety once the husks turn brown and the fruit falls. Watch out for thorns on the stems and bottoms of the leaves. If you save the seed pods, you can reseed your spider flower bed!

Culinary Tips

Spider flower leaves are commonly eaten boiled whether in soups, stews, or as a side dish. They are often eaten with Thai chili paste. Another great option for spider flower leaves is pickling. Additionally, since the flavor is similar to mustard greens, try substituting it in other recipes for a change of pace.
