Bring bold, tropical drama to your garden with the striking Ricinus ‘Gibsonii’. Grown for its deep maroon foliage, architectural form, and extraordinary growth speed, this statement plant flourishes in warm, sunny borders or large containers.
Each plant grows rapidly from seed to reach up to 2.5 metres in a single season, producing towering stems, rich red-bronze leaves, and spiky seed pods that glow in the late summer sun. Ideal for exotic-style gardens, contemporary designs, or as a bold contrast to soft cottage planting schemes.
