Editor's Note

Resources list all parts of Gazania plants as poisonous if ingested. The reaction is usually mild to moderate gastrointestinal irritation. Reported to be non life-threatening, but care should be taken, especially with young children and pets.

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.
