marigold, cosmos and cornflower(Centaurea cyanus)

[Mr ML]

I got these three species growing in my garden. Are they safe for hermans? and will they want to eat them?

As long as they're safe its a win win as if they eat them then I can use them as feeders and if they aren't keen on them I can plant them in the enclosure to look nicer

Thanks

The ordinary marigold is safe, but other types are not. Be careful.

Cosmos and cornflower are okay in moderation .

to check most plants, they tend to be overly-cautious sometimes, but that's probably wise.
