OpenDeadly
Lily of the valley
Convallaria majalis
A sweet May bell that is a foxglove cousin — perfume, not a homemade heart drop.
Flavor

Symptoms
palpitations, poor circulation
In favor
Unmistakable May scent
Against
Fatal in small amounts
Days to harvest
Bloom in spring from established pips — ornamental only
