Here are the two different types of castors I have tried...
The first one is from last summer and is the "purple leafed" castor:
This is the "regular" castor from 2007:
As you can plainly see, the regular is a much more vigorous plant than the "purple leafed" type. Both are about the exact same age. I like the look of the purple leafed type, but the overall size of the regular tends to make a more pronounced statement. As far as the red/pink prickly seed pods, yes, they both produced the same looking pod.
