The origin of Willowherbs is unclear but they have been in the UK for at least 200 years.

I'm not sure that little plant is any kind of Willowherb. I'm suspect its an annual which willowherbs in general are not.

Rosebay Willowherb is the plant most folk think is a nuisance and its a native. However it hybridised with a Scandinavian Willowherb.

So it isn't a willowherd?! Thank You so much for any information you can give!!!!

If it's not a willow herb I would be interested to know as well because there is loads about and would be great if it was edible.

I agree sooo much! I HOPE IT EDIBLE!

Awesome! {If it is willowherb}

[cherylahutch]

Yeah if it is willowherb lol but if your tortoise has been eating it with no ill effects then should think it's ok. But I am just learning so am sure someone will come along who knows what they are doing :0)
