Songbirds and Finches | Perennials for Birds

These bird-friendly perennials offer natural food sources for songbirds and finches that visit your garden. Plants that produce many large seeds like Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susans), Echinacea (coneflowers), and Solidago (goldenrod) are favorites of backyard birds. Practice bird-friendly gardening by allowing the seeds to mature on the plants instead of deadheading. By waiting until late winter or early spring to cut the plants back, the birds will have a source of food all winter long.
