Safe flowers for Indian Stars?

[MickeysMummy]

Hey all,

So I'm going to the garden centre tomorrow to buy some grow bags and seeds etc so I can plant my own food for my Indian Star torts which will be arriving in the next few weeks. I wondered if anyone could give me some advice on what flowers etc is best for me to grow?

I know they can eat roses, pansies, petunias, geraniums and hibiscus flowers but I'd like to know of any other ideas you guys may have?

I live in the UK so needs to be stuff I can grow here. Thanks so much for your help.

Is this for good, or more for the enclosure beautification, and share?
For food, weeds; dandelions, plantain, prickly lettuce, thistles.
For shade I like butterfly bushes, hostas, lilacs...., grapes are geat too.

Thanks for your help

My sulcata LOVES the blue flowers on chicory.

I have a sulcata, but all the flowers I compiled on this list are tortoise safe and will grow in your climate. Hope this gives you some ideas...

Thanks Brian, I'll be sure to try my Stars with those!
