Castor Bean - Impala
The Impala grows best in hot, humid climates and in full sun. The large copper-red leaves are dramatic and tropical looking. Small scarlet flowers appear on foot-high stalks, followed by prickly husks, which contain brown speckled seeds. With this in mind, you will love this plant if you need a tall tropical looking screen. Because all parts of this plant are poisonous, do not plant this near very small children and pets. They prefer sandy or clay loam soils with good drainage. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. The Castor Bean blooms in summer when the plants are about 1 foot tall. Water regularly like you would other tall plants. The Caster Bean is an excellent quick hedge. The Castor Bean Impala, 'Ricinus communis', has fast growing, dramatically tropical, dark bronze foliage. ... more
