Ricinus communis ‘Gibsonii’ Seeds grow into tall ornamental castor plants known for their large, dark bronze-red leaves and striking spiky seed pods. This dramatic foliage plant is widely used in tropical landscapes, garden borders, and as a focal point in decorative outdoor planting.
It grows rapidly in warm weather and prefers full sun conditions. While visually impressive, this plant is strictly ornamental as all parts, including the seeds, are toxic and should be kept away from children and pets.
