Garden plants toxic to dogs
Every garden plant in the planner rated toxic to dogs, the most dangerous first, from ASPCA and NC State records.
Dogs eat plants more than cats do, and dig up bulbs, which is where several of the worst poisons are kept: daffodil, tulip and hyacinth bulbs are far more toxic than their leaves. Foxglove and lily of the valley affect the heart, and yew is one of the most poisonous plants in any garden.
This list is drawn from the ASPCA's lists and NC State's toxicity ratings; where the two disagree, the more cautious rating is used. In the planner, the Plants tab can show only non-toxic plants, and any plant unticked there is left off the plan.
429 plants: 229 perennials, 1 fern, 78 bulbs and 121 shrubs.
