I would like some information what to do with the seeds I received "Rinicus Communis. Where do I plant them in a large pot or in de ground? How tall do they get? How soon do I plant the seeds? Thanks Willy van Vuuren (Dulci)
Castor bean can be a large plant. I have used them as fast growing screen material in Half barrel planters, one plant per planter, planted in early spring. They are considered annuals. They are poisonous and can cause reactions from contact with the plant and its resins. The seeds are poisonous also. Listed as up to 12 feet or more tall. be very careful of this plant around children, they are poisoned by the colorful seeds. The correct botanical name is Ricinus communis.
