Lure Birds To Your Yard & Garden Year Round With These Perennial Plants
By SAKSHI KHAITAN
Purple Coneflower
Purple coneflowers have lavender, pink, or burgundy ray flowers that produce fruits and seeds that goldfinches, towhees, chickadees, and other songbirds eat.
Prairie Blazing Star
Prairie blazing stars attract a litany of pollinators. Hummingbirds love their summer-blooming violet flowers, which dry down to seeds that songbirds eat.
Bee Balm
Ruby-throated hummers and other birds love bee balm due to its nectar and seeds. Gardeners also appreciate its raspberry pink or lavender tubular flowers.
Black-Eyed Susan
You can make your own birdseed by growing black-eyed Susan in your garden. American goldfinches, nuthatches, cardinals, and chickadees love the dried pods.
Common Cup-Plant
Cup-plants band their leaves in a way that lets them hold on to water, catching the fancy of goldfinches. Hummingbirds and songbirds also love their halo and seeds.
