I will compromise and put them in a bigger pot, but they will sit in the garden.

Treat this year as a practice round so next year we will know exactly what is what.

I got some seeds from Chiltern, eventually - they'd run out to start with. The ones I sowed are supposed to have red flowers. We'll see. I've just checked the name - Ricinus communis var. gibsonii. It'll be interesting to see both side by side.

That is very dramatic, but is beautiful too. I just repotted my Bists/WF two and put one out and the pinker one into the conservatory. Worth growing.

I looked them up and they come true from seeds so there will be plenty of both.

I'll be planting some of mine out this week. If/when they do seed, I'll obviously let people know.

All the ones I have in the conservatory have green leaves, all the ones in the garden are turning red.
