Lilies and Cats

This question was asked by

Hi there,
I was thinking about buying different sorts of lillies for my garden.
However, there is a neighbourhood cat that does sometimes come into my garden.
I love lillies but which ones are safe to plant in terms of cats. I read some are highly toxic but others may just cause irritation if ingested
Can you send me a list of which ones are safest/less toxic to plant?
Thanks

Hi Rachel

I would advise trying the pollen-free lilies as this eliminates the risk of the cats brushing past the pollen and licking it off their fur, that’s where the problem can sometimes be. Mosts cats are clever enough not to eat anything from the garden as most plants can be poisonous to them if ingested.
