plants for outdoor enclosure

amyw1 · 25-07-2008, 10:53 PM

hi,

can anyone give me a few good plants to go in outdoor enclosure for horsfields please? lavender is NOT an option as the smell of it makes me sick.

my list so far is: pansies and rose bushes.

thanks

Hi Amy,

Petunias, hostas, laveteria, hibiscus, aubretia, mallow, fuscia, seedum, nasturcium to name a few.

Non of my tortoises are interested in eating fuscias so although it is edible it might not be a plant of choice to eat by tortoises.

Give it a try, and they are really easy to take cuttings from to get more plants from the one.
