Impala Castor Bean (Ricinus communis)

With this in mind, you will love this plant if you need a tall tropical looking screen. The large copper-red leaves are dramatic and tropical looking. Purchase while supplies and stock are still available. Small scarlet flowers appear on foot-high stalks, followed by prickly husks, which contain brown speckled seeds. Because all parts of this plant are poisonous, do not plant this near very small children and pets. The Castor Bean Impala, 'Ricinus communis', has fast growing, dramatically tropical, dark bronze foliage. The Caster Bean is an excellent quick hedge. * $2.99
