Giant castor bean seeds sown today

April 28/2021
In 4" pots 


GIANT CASTOR BEAN Tall Fast-Growing Ricinus Zanzibarensis, 5 Huge Fresh Seeds

GIANT CASTER BEAN


This Giant Castor Bean, Ricinus Zanzibarensis, can reach 10 feet or more in a single season, with leaves up to 4' wide! An excellent specimen plant in the garden, or grown in a large planter! We love planting these by our front door to add a "Wow!" effect.

Ricinus is generally grown as an annual in cooler climates, due to it's fast growth, though becomes a large shrub in tropical climates.

The seed pod is a spiny, greenish (to reddish-purple) capsule containing large, oval, shiny, bean-like, highly poisonous seeds with variable brownish mottling.
