Editor's Note

Some resources list all parts of Hyacinthus as poisonous if ingested. Symptoms include stomach cramps, salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea. May be fatal if large quantities are consumed.

Reports of skin irritation and dermatitis have been reported after coming in contact with cell sap.

Possible nasal irritation and asthma in susceptible persons.

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.
