Geranium × oxonianum 'Wargrave Pink'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists geranium × oxonianum 'wargrave pink' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. A cultivar of the true Geranium hybrid G. × oxonianum, a genus the ASPCA does not individually list as toxic or non-toxic. It is readily confused with the ASPCA-listed toxic 'geranium', Pelargonium species (toxic principles geraniol and linalool). Without an affirmative ASPCA non-toxic listing for cranesbill, treat with caution and verify with a vet.
