With its vigorous growth and mostly bright yellow flowers, the sun's eye cannot be overlooked in the garden. It attracts humans and animals alike. Small children and pets can also snack on them out of their curiosity. What are the consequences?
Is the suneye poisonous?
The suneye (Heliopsis helianthoides var. Scabra) is completely non-toxic to humans and animals. Children and pets are allowed to touch, pick and even eat the attractive plant without fear of negative consequences.
Flower magic without side effects
We can't tell you what the sun's eye tastes like. However, we can completely alleviate your concerns about toxicity. The sun's eye is completely poison-free from the root to the yellow flower.
- Suneye is ideal for a family garden
- doesn't have to be looked at fearfully
- Children are allowed to touch and pick it

If the poison-free suneye is cultivated in the home garden, no special protective or behavioral measures are required. It certainly doesn't have to be banned from the garden.
Tip
The harmless suneye is wonderful as a cut flower. It can shine alone in the vase or be combined with other flowers to create a colorful bouquet.
The favorite plant of some animals
Some skin animals like to eat the perennial, which comes from North America and Mexico. Therefore, it is not the Sun's Eye that needs to be feared, but the other way around. As the favorite food of herbivorous pets, it needs our protection to avoid being eaten bare.
Since this plant also looks good in cottage gardens, animals can definitely be found near it. Rabbits in particular prefer the delicate leaves and flowers of the sun's eye, even when they have a larger selection of food.
Use cut greens as fodder
The sun's eye grows over 1 m high and spreads out more and more over time. If you leave the perennial to its own devices, you will soon be able to admire a yellow garden.
In order to keep this plant under control and to provide space for other plants, scissors are often used. The cut plant parts can end up in the compost without any problems. However, if you have pets, you can make them happy on a regular basis. Just try out which four-legged friend likes these flowers.
Sun eye with healing power
We do not know to what extent the suneye, which comes from America and has the botanical name Heliopsis helianthoides var. Scabra, produces healing substances inside.
When people here talk about the healing effects of the sun's eye, chamomile is behind it. This is popularly known by numerous names, including the sun's eye.
