Pelargonium
The classic window-box geranium. Ball-shaped flower clusters above scalloped leaves. Tough container staple.
Toxic to cats
Toxic to cats and dogs, and cats are the more sensitive. Mostly it causes vomiting and a loss of appetite; a larger amount can also bring on wobbliness, muscle weakness, lethargy and a drop in body temperature. It can irritate skin too.
