Description

The listing, Purple Castor Bean Seeds X10 has ended.

I've grown these in Michigan and South Texas, They can easily get over 7ft. tall in one summer from seeds. With fertilizer and perfect conditions- 20+ ft. I've seen it. In Michigan no less. The leaves were the size of trashcan lids. But that was with exceptional care. Usually only 7+ with leaves bigger than a Frisbee. As far South as Texas, they look healthy year-round. Mine never even stopped blooming. They're already starting to grow again in February. I expect they will eventually get 20ft tall regardless of care down here in Texas, since they survive Winter and grow for years. As you can see in the photos, they are striking and very tropical looking. These turn heads. Your neighbors will stop to ask about them, I am sure. They make a great hedge or privacy screen in just 8-10 weeks. Full sun is best. (6+ hours of direct light per day)

I'm sorry, I didn't notice your question yesterday. It was 5 seeds, but since nobody is bidding I just bumped it up to 10.

Are they poisonous?

Only when ingested. lol
Contrary to popular hysteria, cats, dogs and small children don't generally feel driven to eat random shrubbery.
As a further precaution, the flowers/fruit of a castor bean are prickly and unappealing.
If you were inquiring because you were actually looking for poison, a handful of beans in his chili should do the trick.

You do have some funny comments. yipppeee, at least someone has a sense of humor.. ha ha ha. Anyhow, would you ship so the beans don't get crushed? I have had a terrible time getting whole beans that will actually sprout. Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, I have one of those little yellow Manila envelopes with bubble-wrap lining.
