According to plant experts, all parts of the vibrant mandevilla plant are considered toxic to both humans and animals if ingested. Despite its beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers, this popular ornamental vine is not edible and can cause mild to moderate illness if consumed. Gardeners must exercise caution when handling the plant and ensure it is kept away from curious pets and children.
