Safety reference

Handle with Care

Toxicity, allelopathy, and aggressive spread are natural plant strategies. This section flags species that warrant extra consideration in the garden or landscape.

Toxic Species

Plants with known toxicity to humans or livestock. Severity ranges from slight skin irritation to serious systemic risk.

    Allelopathic Plants

    These species release root or leaf chemicals that can inhibit the germination or growth of neighboring plants. Critical for companion planting.

      Aggressive Spreaders

      Plants with moderate to rapid vegetative spread rates. May require physical containment or annual division to stay within bounds.

        Invasive and noxious legal status data are not included in this dataset. Consult your state’s department of agriculture or local extension service for regional invasive species lists before planting.
