The Easiest Seeds to Start


Easy Seeds
 

Castor Bean

This plant will amaze your friends. A fast-growing, warm-weather-loving species, a single castor bean seed can grow into a 15-foot-tall specimen by the end of the season -- even in northern Zones.
Starting Tips: Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep; they usually sprout in one to three weeks. If you sow the seed directly outdoors, wait until the soil has warmed.
Note: All parts of the castor bean plant are extremely poisonous.
