Plants for birds
#lemon8diarychallenge I’m choosing to propagate this ornamental grass in the spring. Birds rely on the seeds and thistle for winter food. So easy to divide and multiply!

Creating a bird-friendly garden involves selecting plants that provide food, shelter, and nesting sites. Good choices include native flowering plants like coneflowers, echinacea, and sunflowers, which attract a variety of bird species. Additionally, consider planting berries such as elderberry and viburnum, which feed birds in the fall and winter. Ornamental grasses, like the one you plan to propagate, not only add aesthetic value but also provide cover and nesting materials for birds. During the colder months, their seeds become an important food source. Use a diverse mix of plants to ensure that your garden is lively throughout the year. Enhance your garden's appeal by incorporating water features and native shrubs, turning it into a sanctuary for birds. This approach fosters a sustainable ecosystem, benefiting both birds and your garden's health.
