Castor Red Plant

Already growing. Just plant it.Fast, dramatic ornamental — wine-red leaves the size of plates, 2 m by spring. Looks only.

Grown across the Gulf as a fast screen and a statement plant.

Loves our heat — a hand's width a week in autumn.

Treat it as a one-season plant: enjoy it through winter and spring, then replace.

When to pick: Trim any leaf that yellows. Cut seed pods off as soon as they show. Never compost or burn the seeds.

⚠ Keep away from children and pets. All parts of the castor plant are poisonous if eaten — the seeds especially. Ornamental only; cut the seed pods off before they form.

Planting steps in detail

You need: Potting Soil Mix and a shovel. A pot 40 cm or bigger, or a sunny spot in the garden.

1. Pot: fill with Potting Soil Mix. Ground: dig, mix a few handfuls in.

2. Hole twice the size of the small pot. Water the small pot an hour before.

3. Squeeze the pot, slide out with the soil ball whole. Never pull the stem, never shake the roots.

4. Same depth as the pot. Press, water until it drains, push a stick in next to it.

Late afternoon, never at noon. No feeding for the first 2 weeks.
