CHUXAY GARDEN 10 Seeds Castor Bean,Ricinus Communis Zanzibariensis Tropical Annual Plant Landscaping Rocks Grows in Garden and pots

Castor Bean (Ricinus Communis Zanzibariensis) - Here is another incredible tropical annual that can be grown from Castor Bean seeds to give a dramatic display in the landscape. The Zanzibar plant achieves massive sizes in a single growing season, but it is not tolerant of frost, so in most areas it is grown as an annual. Giant Castor Bean plants have huge star-like, bronze-green, serrated leaves that can measure up to 24 inches across. It also has 18 inch, drooping seed stalks that contain the seeds. Grow the plant in full sun and in soil that is rich and has been amended with organic matter. Care of the Zanzibar Castor Bean plant would include staking the plant if needed 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.
