Ornamental Features

Carmencita Castor Bean features showy clusters of red pincushion flowers at the ends of the stems from early summer to early fall. Its attractive enormous lobed palmate leaves emerge red in spring, turning burgundy in colour with distinctive red veins and tinges of green the rest of the year. It features abundant showy red capsules with coral-pink overtones from mid summer to early fall. The dark red stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.
