| yes, it's castor bean (not a vine though) I believe there is a red one called "Carmencita" perhaps do a google search, and see what you can find I do know that Castor Bean is VERY poisonous!! Do be careful -the whole plant is poison- I read if it got ground up with food, it could even kill horses- *just thought you should know* it's really pretty! I like red in the garden Linda in Louisville |

| My husband reacts to Castor Bean plants like you, Linda, but after all the problems we've had this year with voles, they'll be back in my garden next summer. Susan, if you're worried about the seeds -- especially having a young daughter -- just snip off the attractive prickly red balls before the seeds mature. We have a very long growing season here, but I've found that by preventing my Castor Bean plants from going to seed until very late in the Fall, the plants remain upright longer without staking. |
