For tortoise keepers who want dependable home grown forage, ribwort plantain is one of the most useful native plants to add to a reptile grazing area. Its narrow ribbed leaves grow from low rosettes, providing a fibrous green food source that can be picked fresh, allowed to grow in outdoor runs, or included in a mixed tortoise garden with dandelion, clover, chicory, lambs lettuce and suitable grasses. As a hardy perennial, Plantago Lanceolata can return each year in suitable conditions and regrow after cutting or light grazing, making it a practical choice for long term enclosure planting. It also fits naturally into wild lawns, meadow patches, raised beds and pots, helping create a more natural feeding environment while reducing reliance on shop bought salad leaves.
