Castor Oil Bean 'Carmencita Red'
Burnished chocolate leaves with red veins make for a bold tropical look in the garden, the insignificant flowers followed by cherry-red bristly seedpods. Popular in Victorian times, where they looked very much at home planted on both sides of the front entrance. Called Palma Christi or Palm of Christ in the 1800s, it was grown not just for ornament but for the oil the seeds produced. Seeds extremely toxic, keep away from children and pets at all times. Self-sows—remove seed pods before seeds drop.
