Editor's Note

Some resources list all parts of Papaver plants (except the seeds of some species) as poisonous if ingested.

It is important to note that poppy seeds sold in grocery stores for culinary purposes are harmless, as the toxins have been destroyed by heat.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardener, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
