This is ricinus communis (castor bean plant) - annual here in NJ, but perennial in warmer climates. I am growing the smallest cultivar (Impala) that should top out around 5’ and have nine planted around the yard and by my fig trees.That's a really cool looking plant, is it perennial?
My wife bought a plant something similar to this but I don't know if it flowers...I'll have to ask her what it is.
Ah okay, I don't think I've ever seen one.This is ricinus communis (castor bean plant) - annual here in NJ, but perennial in warmer climates. I am growing the smallest cultivar (Impala) that should top out around 5’ and have nine planted around the yard and by my fig trees.

At one time in the Midwest little groves of castor beans were common to drive moles away. The deadly toxicity of the seeds was well known to older children long before the toxin ricin was widely publicized. One of those plants pets and small children should be kept away from for sure.
