Hazards Listed Of Poisonings In Holiday Plants The Food and Drug Administration warns gardeners and householders against the unlabeled hazards of potential poisoning from common decorative plants or their seeds. These include varieties such as the castor bean, the jequirity bean, also known as the rosary pea, which can be fatal if chewed and swallowed. Some other plants also are toxic when ingested. For example: One poinsettia leaf can kill a child; mistletoe has been known to be fatal to both children and adults; daffodil, hyacinth, and narcissus bulbs cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and may be fatal. The FDA recommends that gardeners and homeowners make a careful appraisal of the poison potential of their favorite decorative plants in and around the home, especially if the highly toxic jequirity or castor beans are used for planting.

They should be sowed only in areas not accessible to children.
