Castor oil seed grows into a bold, fast-growing plant with large, tropical-style leaves. It does best in warm weather and full sun, making it a striking choice for outdoor corners, boundaries, and larger planters. Once established, it grows quickly and develops a strong presence in the garden. This compact plant is easy to grow, but not for eating.
