FAQ
Does this Swedish ivy verdict cover the whole Plectranthus genus?
No. The ASPCA's Swedish Ivy and White Edged Swedish Ivy entries both name "Plectranthus australis", so this S0 Safe verdict covers that species, including the plant in the White Edged Swedish Ivy entry. It does not extend to the whole Plectranthus genus. Check the full scientific name on the tag before applying this verdict.
Are Creeping Charlie and Creeping Pilea the same plant as this Swedish ivy?
No. The ASPCA's Creeping Charlie and Creeping Pilea entries both name a different plant, "Pilea nummulariifolia", and each read "Non-Toxic to Dogs, Non-Toxic to Cats, Non-Toxic to Horses". That plant is outside this page's verdict, and we do not grade it here. A tag that says Creeping Charlie does not tell you the plant is Plectranthus australis; check the scientific name.
Does this Swedish ivy verdict include purple Swedish ivy (Plectranthus purpuratus)?
No. This S0 Safe verdict covers Plectranthus australis. Neither the ASPCA nor Pet Poison Helpline has a plant reference entry for Plectranthus purpuratus, so it is outside this page's scope and we do not grade it. Check the full scientific name on the tag rather than relying on the shared name Swedish ivy.
