Thompson & Morgan sells the seed of the Castor Bean plant (Ricinus
communis). It is considered a half-hardy annual. Once you grow it you can
harvest your own seeds. The plant and its seeds are considered poisonous.
Do not grow it where children may be attracted to the large seeds.

I have this planted on my mail box in NE North Carolina and it loves it
there. I found mine at a high end nursery that buys unusual varieties of
plants. I have a question though. Is the fruit on these edible? After
flowering the bud starts to become a seed pod or fruit. Any one have any
clues??

Thanks!!
Pam

Sorry Bill, Don't know where to buy them locally. I have several on my
property in the NE corner of GA. If your ever this way give me a jingle
and
we'll see if we can get you some cuttings or perhaps a transplant or two
started.

Maypops (passiflora incarnata) grows wild around here,
though the only places I have seen it have been in
National or State Parks, so I can't harvest some. I would
like to try it out on a trellis I have here, but
can't seem to find a local nursery that carries them.

Does anybody know of a good place to buy them?

Thanks,
