This hardy, pretty plant is mainly found in coastal regions. Although there is little literature on its suitability for tortoises, it is said to be toxic to ruminants like cows and goats, and to molluscs, and has been traditionally used as an insect repellent, so it is best to avoid feeding it to your tortoise.
