Fran,

I have grown Castor Beans in my gardens for several years and love them. I always start them from seed - they germinate very easily.

Castor Beans, especially the green variety, get HUGE in a very short time. Mine always get at least 15 feet tall, and the tallest have been over 18 feet. And that's in just five months! I just can't see growing such big plants in pots, but perhaps it would work if the pots were large enough.

Good luck to you.
