Sow in a nursery at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
In our climates, where frost is rare, Ricin can become a perennial and grow to 3 or 4m. Generally, it is grown as an annual and will reach a maximum of 2m.
