Description

Huge, bright green, shiny leaves adorn this lovely thick-trunked Cretian form of the "Castor Oil Plant". This is the quite rarely offered, true wild form, bearing dazzling, bright red flower buds and seed pods amongst large dark green leaves. If grown in warm climates it will ultimately make a sturdy tree. Please note that these seeds are extremely poisonous if eaten.

Sowing Advice

Sow seeds in gentle heat in early spring. Grow on small plants in pots before transplanting to a large pot or open garden in April or May.
