Castor Bean seeds are recommended solely for outdoor growth because of their 72 – 144” height. Plants grow so vigorously that there is little reason to start seeds indoors. Sow directly after final frost in a sunny spot on the north end of the garden and sheltered from strong winds. Castor Bean seeds may need staking if plants are grown isolated.

Amazing, giant leaves make Castor Bean an attractive alternative for screening. Many of our gardening friends tell us they use the Castor Bean to help repel moles.
