Knowledge is power, which is why I created this list of poisonous garden flowers, shrubs, vines, and trees. The deadly Indian rosary pea ( Abrus precatorius) has pretty scarlet and black seeds grown for jewelry beads, but they are so lethal, jewelry makers have died handling them with pricked fingers. In fact, and Greeks used aconitum-juice-tipped arrows to kill wolves, hence the common name, while the Japanese used tipped arrows to hunt bear. Wolf’s bane ( Aconitum spp.) contains aconitine, a common deadly poison of the ancient world that appears repeatedly in Greek and eastern mythology and custom. Some have even caused intrigue of historical significance.Ĭastor beans ( Ricinus communis) contain ricin, a poison famously used in the 1978 assassination of Bulgarian dissident novelist Georgi Markov by Bulgarian secret police using a ricin-injected umbrella. The worst contain neurotoxins, able to kill if ingested or even handled. Lots of garden favorites pose a true threat to humans, pets, and livestock.
