I'm making a Gulf Coast Box Turtle enclosure and I need some safe plants. I'm not talking edible just safe so they cant harm the turtles. I want to know the safe plant list and what are the safe waterplants? I want to make a cool water feature and have waterplants in it. Thanks, -Camden :)

Strawberry plants are safe but they do spread. Hostas are safe and provide good places to hide under. I have clover planted,
lamium, Hair grasses( small balls of grass) Pachysandra
