Many Common Garden Plants Are Toxic—But Rarely a Danger

Azalea, Carolina jessamine, boxwood, lily of the valley, euphorbia, daffodil, oleander, tomato, potato, rhubarb—all have toxic parts. Yet we don't warn about each because people don't eat them. Moon plant (Datura) is no exception; its toxicity is real but accidental ingestion is unlikely. Garden wisely: teach children not to eat unknown plants, but don't panic over every species.
