Is Sahuc's Sun Rose Hybrid toxic to cats?

× Halimiocistus sahucii

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists sahuc's sun rose hybrid 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. No ASPCA listing found for this bigeneric hybrid. The Cistus and Halimium parent genera are not documented as significantly toxic, but because no authoritative pet-safety clearance exists for this hybrid, it should be treated as mildly toxic as a precaution. Contact with the sticky resin may cause mild skin irritation.
