Make a dramatic statement and add tropical flair to your garden with the fast-growing Carmencita Red Castor bean. The oversized palmate leaves of ‘Carmencita Red‘ emerge green and turn burgundy as they mature. A summer show of cherry-red ball seed pods attached to the tips of deep red stems makes this statuesque plant even more appealing. All parts of this plant are poisonous, so do take care around pets and children. Though poisonous, Castor Bean has been cultivated for thousands of years and still grows nearly wild in heavily populated areas with no problems. Not bothered at all by deer or rabbits.
