Editor's Note

While some resources state that there are no known hazards or side effects to the appropriate administration of extremely small therapeutic doses of plant materials from the Pulsatilla, Crocus and Colchicum genera, they are poisonous in larger quantities. Improper usage can cause coma, convulsions, and respiratory failure. Pregnant women should avoid ingesting it.

Direct contact with the plant can cause severe skin reaction.

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.
