About Zanzibar

Largest of all the castor bean plants with green leaves up to 36" wide. You’ll be amazed at how big this one gets in one Minnesota summer. Can't be beat for cost per square inch.

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.
