Red Giant Castor Bean - Packet of 10 Seeds

So far a success ! Seeds received were healthy . Only planted two seeds as I only have limited space . If these grow as others ? 8-10 ft ? I wouldn’t be surprised . Good seed . Both seeds germinated outside and within 4 weeks they grew to 18” already . And my summer just started .

fast germination

Seeds were perfect. Even though I have already experienced the wonders of this plant. Many other may not. I think a quick prep of seeds instruction on the envelope or a website so they are aware. I did like the warning because may not know. Some advantages would be nice via website or flyer. Such as it mole and voles or any burrowing critter deterant also many insect avoid them. Im my case my dog and my wolf know to avoid them. It was by some sense. Again the seeds were excellent and seemed fresh. Thank you

Wouldn't grow no matter what, finally did a viability test. Bad seeds. I'm so sad and wasted so much effort.

These grew so well in Illinois that we had to get them again! Gorgeous prehistoric monsters! They even held up through a derecho like those tornadoes were a heavy breeze. The first picture is their height in Nov 2024 and the second is with my husband in October 24.

Only received 9 seeds. 2 seeds never germinated. I’m an award winning master gardener and have grown these many times.

Very happy with the seeds received. All but one sprouted. Simply gorgeous plant! Highly recommend.

Disappointed its been several weeks and only 3 of 10 seeds sprouted. I know these seeds aren't always easy to start as they prefer the soil to maintain 70° temps. I did use a heat pad. Im still hoping 1 or 2 might sprout as they are still a hard seed vs rotted or dried out. Ive been growing these on/off for 25+ yrs. Using seeds from previous year. I expected much better success.
