No, this plant is toxic to both pets and humans if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets or small children.

Yes, it is suitable for patios in warmer weather. However, because it is not frost-tolerant, you must bring it indoors before temperatures drop, as it is only hardy in zone 9b.
