Ricinus zanzibarensis
GIANT CASTOR BEAN
- Unit price
- / per
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.
We had some large Castor Bean plants by our front door, and each evening we found this tree frog (see images) on the stems of the plants!
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Sow the seeds just under surface of the soil, and water in. Keep continuously moist. These seeds grow in temperatures of 25C-29C (77-84F). A heat mat can be helpful. Seeds germinate in 30-60 days. Once growing they should be placed at 20-22C, 68-72F.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
