Planting lettuce next to hydrangea - poisonous?
Not having a garden, I have a sort of gazebo on my parking lot in
front of the office (my husband and I are self-employed) and I have loads of pots with all kinds of stuff growing. I put a hydrangea in a large round terracotta pot and later on, planted two small lettuce heads next to it. The other lettuce heads I had planted in two other pots and in four window-boxes on my mini-balcony at home. The lettuce heads in the hydrangea pot are growing like crazy, much more than the others which were planted a fortnight before, but I'm scared to eat them because hydrangeas are poisonous and I'm worried the lettuce might have sucked up thy cyanide through the roots... Any experiences in this respect? Thanks! Melanie |

writes http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_hydrangea.htm But it was said that cyanide wasn't found in the common ornamental hydrangea, But that seems to be referring to Hydrangea paniculata, while I had assumed that this thread was referring to Hydrangea macrophylla or a close relative or hybrid. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
