About Carmencita

Decorative 12–18" leaves are a deep red-bronze and the flowers are electric rose.

About Castor Bean

Spectacular tropical foliage. The entire plant is very poisonous, particularly the seeds, which should be removed before they ripen. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil. It really can get as tall as noted in one summer: it's a great way to have a "tree" without the expense or the commitment.
