no the edibilty rating 0 doesnt necessary mean toxic
if you click on each of the ones with 0
you will find a few that tell you about toxicicity

i would then google the ones with warnings
to try and eliminate your plant

wouldnt it be nice if the shop put a full latin name on the plant

Is that for humans or animals or both?

im sorry i dont know i just avoid any thing with a warning

Aye it would. Most but not all garden centres do I have discovered but places like supermarkets and DIY stores mostly don't

This is the campanula I have been feeding my tortoises with for the last ten years. I just let it grow outside in my front garden, and down the sides of my house. Where the tortoises cant get at it, but I can feed them with it all the time. I also have some growing in pots in the back garden, so the torts can reach the flowers but not eat it too the ground. This one is a ground level one, so stays a much more compact plant.

Are you talking about the one in my photo? They were selling it in the houseplant section, I thought it must be quite different (since it's flowering just now) to my other 4 types of Campanula that I have that are growing outsite at the moment

it looks like the one I had too, and I'm sure I asked at the time and it was ok.
