Growing Giant Castor Oil Plants From Seed

In this video I grow two varieties of castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) from seed. One variety is Impala which I grew last year, this variety has bronze to purple leaves and has bright red seed capsules. The other variety is a giant called Zanzibarensis which grows much bigger and has blue tinged leaves which reach over two foot wide.
In this video I introduce the two varieties and sow the seeds, I then follow up with an update a few weeks later once they have germinated and I finish the video with another update after they have been growing outside for a few weeks.

The next update can be found here:    • Giant Castor Oil Plants (End Of Year ...
