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.
