Product Description

tall plant with olive-purple leaves and red castor fruit

Excellent For Pollinators

Not only do castor bean plants look exotic, but they help your garden by attracting pollinators to the area.

tall plant with olive-purple leaves and red castor fruit

Castor Bean (Ricinus Communis Carmencita Bright Red)

This amazing Castor Bean species grows as an annual in most climates, but it grows quickly and produces tall, lush foliage in no time! If you need shade from intense summer sun, these plants are an excellent solution, as they can grow several feet in a single year. These plants are extremely attractive and will bring a unique, exotic look to the landscape.

Castor bean plants are known to re-seed themselves but are not considered invasive in most climates. However, they are most commonly grown as annuals in most regions, and are discarded once winter frosts kill them.

NOTE: All parts of the plant, including the seeds, are poisonous. Eating the seeds may be fatal. Growing this plant is not recommended if you have small children.

How to Grow

Castor Bean seeds can be started indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after frost season has passed. It is recommended to soak the Ricinus seeds for 24 hours in water to help break the seed coat. Cover the Castor Bean seed with 1/4 inch of soil and keep moist.

Grow the plant in full sun in soil that is rich and has been amended with organic matter. Care of the Castor Bean plant includes staking it as necessary, trimming faded flowers to produce new blooms, and fertilizing every month (or adding a slow-release fertilizer at the time of planting).

In the fall after the first frost, remove the plant and discard.

This was the first time I purchased castor bean seeds and when they arrived the package was in good condition and not damaged in any way. I followed the directions and planted the seeds and the plants are still growing. I only wish that I would of planted them in May instead of so late in the season. I probably will not see the height and flowering they can get to be before the first frost in my area. Next year I will plant in may. I am going to purchase these seeds again for next year.

I purchased both the red and the green castor bean seeds. All 5 red germinated quickly and are thriving. The 5 green, however, have failed to germinate. It's too late in the fall to try again, so I'll wait to try again in the spring.
