Images and Opinions of Ricinus communis from GardenWeb Members| pdeanemt - | I have had alot of comments about this plant. The red color of the foliage and the red flowers are quite an eye catcher and the ones I have this year are over 10 feet tall despite the drought. Some people are sensitive to the leaves of this plant. | Ratings| overall | 10 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 1 |

August 19, 2003 (Vancouver BC) | The bright red seed pods are a real-eye catcher in the late summer garden. All parts of the plant are poisonous. | |

3 months growth | So easy to grow and prop it can be hard to get rid of... Clip and get rid of the seed pods before they split and open. Can reach 10' in a season easily. Add seed, cover, water and watch out... Great help in gopher control. | Ratings| overall | 5 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 1 |
