| I direct sowed some Castor Beans after soaking and then nicking, actually I almost took off all the shell down to the white seeing that I ordered some off eBay and received some of them that way, so I took for granted that they were trying to tell me something and I planted them pointed side up...after what I just read I did it all wrong?? I have some left should I redo this??? I have grown them years before but I had a sunporch back them and started them indoors since I was direct sowing I thought I was speeding up the process. Not so, huh? someone Please help! |

| Plant them directly where you want them to grow with no fuss. I find that they readily self-sow |

| I never soak and nick these. They are not the same as canna seed. The green leaf types self sow, but I'm partial to New Zealand purple which I plant in situ. They are 2-4 inches tall at this time. K |
