Are hollyhock petals poisonous?
Question:A friend of mine raises hollyhock flowers and planted them next to where he had his goldfish (they're very large goldfish, in case that matters). The petals fell off of his flowers and into the water, and each of his fish died. He thinks the hollyhocks were to blame, so my question is, are the petals poisonous?
Answers:
I know that they are to dogs, cats, ect. (even small children) if eaten but i've never heard of them hurting fish. I guess its possable.
We used to have hollyhocks though I never heard if they were poisonous.
We never ate them nor did our dog or cats.
Don't know about fish.
I got tired of all the tall stiff stems to cut down in the fall so now I keep them mowed off.
They were pretty, though.
No
