Editor's Note

Some resources list Dahlia leaves and tubers as poisonous if large quantities are ingested. Skin irritation may follow repeated handling of the tubers and contact with leaves and light.

The toxic principals are phototoxic polyacetylene compounds.

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