Are there risks or considerations with planting wisteria and lilacs near children?

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

While both wisteria and lilacs are beautiful, caution is advised with wisteria as its seeds and pods are toxic if ingested, potentially causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Lilacs are generally considered non-toxic. For young children, it's best to plant wisteria in areas they cannot easily access or opt for non-toxic alternatives to ensure a safe play environment.
