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 tall, fast-growing ornamental can reach about 250 cm (8 ft) in suitable conditions. Grow it where its large leaves and mature height have room to develop. Seeds are poisonous if eaten; keep them away from children and pets.

💐 Growing Guide

1. Sow seeds directly in a pot or garden soil.
2. Plant about ½–1 inch deep in loose, well-draining soil.
3. Keep the soil slightly moist until germination.
4. Place in full sun for stronger growth and healthier leaves.
5. Allow at least 50 cm (20 in) between plants in a sunny, sheltered bed. For containers, use a large, stable tub with drainage and support the plant if exposed to wind.
