Castor Bean plant question

18 years ago

I am in the process of starting some castor beans inside . They are starting to sprout. I want to plant some container plants for placement on deck and some int he ground. My question is , do I plant just one of these seedlings per container and spot in the landscape or do I plant a few of them together?

Thanks,

Hi Tony, One seed will do the trick. Once it starts growing it's going to get big. Castor Beans can grow very big in their first season if all conditions are met.....Wayne
