Description:

Ricinus communis

A dramatic and fast-growing plant known for its large, glossy green leaves and unique seed pods. Reaching heights of 10-15 feet, it makes a bold statement in gardens and landscapes. The plant produces ornamental spikes of spiky seed pods, adding visual interest, but it's important to note that all parts are toxic if ingested. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Castor Bean is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it perfect for adding a tropical flair as a focal point in borders or dramatic container displays.
