Dwarf Red Castor Seeds - Open Pollinated

Red Castor Dwarf Seeds (Ricinus communis – Dwarf Red Variety) 🌱

The Red Castor Dwarf is an ornamental variety of the castor bean plant known for its compact size, bold foliage, and striking red tones. Unlike the tall, wild castor plants, this dwarf type grows only 3–5 feet tall, making it perfect for gardens, borders, and pots.

Features:

• 🌿 Foliage: Deep red to burgundy leaves, broad and palmate, adding a tropical look.

• 🌸 Flowers & Pods: Bright red flower clusters followed by spiny, red seed pods that are highly decorative.

• 🌞 Growth Habit: Fast-growing, dwarf, and bushy in nature.

• 📏 Height: 3–5 ft (much shorter than standard castor, which grows 10–12 ft).

Growing Conditions:

• Sunlight: Full sun for best leaf color and growth.

• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil.

• Watering: Moderate; avoid waterlogging.

• Climate: Thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates.

Uses:

• ✅ Excellent as a landscape ornamental or hedge plant.

• ✅ Great choice for pots, terrace gardens, or borders due to its dwarf nature.

• ✅ Adds vivid red foliage for contrast in mixed planting
