You can check plants on the Tortoise Table database.
Here's what it says about the primrose.

They tend to be overcautious, but I wouldn't risk it, myself.

No idea, I'm afraid.
The clump grass is probably ok. I doubt they'll try to eat it, but they may wreck it by burrowing into the roots.
Evening Primrose is OK to feed. My redfoots eat it.
Common names are such a pain. 'Evening primrose' (Oenothera spp.) and 'Common primrose' (Primula vulgaris) look kind of similar, but are quite unrelated. They're not in the same family of plants - or even order!
So OP, which 'primrose' were you asking about?
Agreed, tidgy's post looked pessimistic towards primrose on TTT, so I looked, and primrose is a do not feed, however it looks nothing like the primrose I feed, mine is evening primrose. They love the flowers, and adults eat the foliage.
If you're still interested, this is mondo grass. Really not a grass at all - more in the Lilly family. It is advised not to be fed to tortoises at all
