Argyranthemum frutescens.

My wife planted some of these and I can't find them on any toxic lists. Anyone know if these are safe for them to eat?

Well from what I read online it's from the Asteraceae family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteraceae and if you look in the "uses" part most of the plants in that family are herbs o vegetables so I would be inclined to think it's edible, not sure though.
Hope it works.

Okay, so its not on any "toxic" lists, but we're not sure about them eating lots of it. Right? Its a pretty big area with lots of other bushes, plants, weeds, grass and trees. I bet they won't even mess with it much. I can always dig them up or block them off it the torts show too much interest in them.
Thanks all.
