They are very pretty when they all come through - there is a big roundabout not too far from me and they apparently used a wildflower seed mix on it and it looked brilliant (wish I had taken a picture) and very good for butterflies etc. - I think it can be things like poppies that may be a problem but worth checking out on the Tortoise table site to be sure

Herbie seed do a mix that was put together by a reputable tort keeper with loads of fieldwork with tortoises. It's the med tort mix. They also do one for leopards too.
