Leave the Seed Heads Standing
Those faded summer blooms still have purpose.
Coneflowers, black-eyed Susans & similar plants feed goldfinches and sparrows through winter.
Each seed head is a natural food source when everything else is scarce.
Cutting them back now removes vital nourishment for birds.
Let them stand your garden becomes a living bird feeder.
Small choice, big impact: feed wildlife through winter.
