Gemswurz with its pretty golden yellow flowers is one of the first heralds of spring in the garden. The plant is safe to plant as it does not contain any toxins. Only the root is said to be poisonous to some animal species.
Gemseed is non-toxic
Gemsbane is not poisonous
You can plant Gemswurz in the garden without worrying because the plant is not poisonous.
However, the root of Gemswurz should contain some substances that can be poisonous for some animal species. However, there is little scientific evidence for this.
If you keep pets, as a safety precaution, you should be careful not to leave unearthed gemsbane roots lying around when grooming.
