Are Red Hot Poker Plants Poisonous?

The answer to this question is a little complicated. Some members of the genus Convolvulus are toxic, while others are not.

However, all members of the genus Convolvulus are dangerous if ingested. Red Hot Poker plants (Convolvulus arvensis) are particularly dangerous because they contain high levels of coniine, a toxin that can cause paralysis and even death. So if you see a red hot poker plant in your garden, be sure to avoid it!.
