Toxicity to pets
Tulips and Hyacinths contain toxic plant alkaloids throughout the plant structure. The highest concentration of toxin is found in the bulbs. Pet ingestion of small amounts of leaves, stems or flowers may result in mild nausea with vomiting. Consumption of bulb material poses risk for persistent gastrointestinal distress (e.g., vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, drooling) and lethargy.
