NB27 Purple Castor Plant ( Ricinus spp.
)
We grew this magnificent garden plant last year and were blown away by how beautiful it was. It grows to over 6 feet tall with delightful purplish foliage that maintains it's color throughout the life cycle of the plant. It produces some of the most vibrant and unique seed clusters we have ever seen. This is a carefree plant that can be grown as an annual ( about 110 days from seed to bloom ) in colder areas. It withstands dry spells, wet spells, has not insect problems that we have noted and makes a tremendous background plant or grouping plant in the lawn. Seeds are from our farm grown stock.
Note: All parts of Ricinus spp. are poisonous, even the seeds, these plants are recommended for growing in gardens and flower beds, not around children or pets that chew on plants. You should not grow castor beans where children play; the seeds are just too pretty and too deadly.
