Editor's Note

Plant Patent number 1841 has expired

Some resources list all Lantana plants as poisonous.

The toxic principals are lantanin, which is a triterpenoid, and other compounds that are irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. All parts of the plant are quite toxic and poisoning may occur year-round, but is most common in summer and fall. All parts of the plant are quite toxic and poisoning may occur year-round, but is most common in summer and fall. Many poisoning cases occur when clippings are thrown into the pasture.

Sheep, cattle, horses, and humans are sensitive to the effects of the plant. Children have been poisoned by eating the berries. Symptoms of Lantana poisoning include sluggishness, partial paralysis and bloody diarrhea.

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