Attract & Feed Backyard Birds | Have you ever seen a hummingbird hovering to sip nectar from the tubular blossom of a Honeysuckle (Lonicera) or watched a goldfinch balance on the cone of a Coneflower (Echinacea) to pluck at its seeds? These splendid sights give you some idea of the importance of choosing plants that produce nectar, seeds, and/or berries that feed the birds. Avian visitors enliven any garden with their colors, songs, and antics. They are also an essential part of the food chain. Consider incorporating into your garden an array of the annuals, perennials, shrubs, and vines shown here (and on our website) and help create a season-long feast for your feathered friends. | |
