All parts of this plant are TOXIC as they contain wisterin, a glycoside, and a toxic resin. The seeds are especially toxic and two seeds are enough to present serious danger to a child. Symptoms of poisoning could include stomach pain, diarrhoea, dehydration and collapse.
The flower colour is usually lilac but also can be in white.
