FAQ

Does this purple passion vine verdict cover all Gynura plants?

No. The ASPCA's Purple Passion Vine, Purple Velvet Plant, and Velvet Plant entries all give the scientific name "Gynura aurantica". This verdict covers that one species as listed by the ASPCA, not the Gynura genus or other plants with similar common names. Check the full scientific name on the tag before applying this verdict.
