Colorful Flowers That'll Bring More Goldfinches To Your Yard
By PEG ALOI
While bird feeders filled with niger seeds, sunflower chips, or birdseed mixes can help attract goldfinches, planting colorful flowers can make your garden even
more inviting.
Goldfinches are particularly drawn to flowers that produce seeds they can feast on, like asters, coneflowers, zinnias, poppies, marigolds, sunflowers, cosmos, thistles, and sedum.
Planting vibrant yellow sunflowers, zinnias such as Canary Bird or Queeny Lemon Peach, and coneflowers like Sombrero, Mellow Yellows, or Summer Solstice can enhance
the appeal.
Moreover, growing dense shrubs such as forsythia, boxwood, privet, or rose of Sharon near these flowers provides the birds shelter, further enticing goldfinches to visit your yard.
