Yes. Hydrangea contains hydrangin, which is a cyanogenic glycoside: a chemical compound that, when activated, releases hydrogen cyanide.

Since the taste of the plant is unpleasant, a child is unlikely to consume a deadly amount; however, even minor toxicity may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. All in all, it's wise to keep hydrangea away from young children who are still exploring by putting things in their mouths.
