Native Plants for Songbirds

This collection of native plants provides year-round resources for songbirds, offering nectar, seeds, and shelter while filling the garden with vibrant seasonal color. The Anise Hyssop and Coneflower supply nectar-rich blooms that attract pollinators and hummingbirds, while their seed heads later provide food for finches and other seed-eaters. Joe Pye Weed and Blue-stemmed Goldenrod bloom in late summer and fall, supporting migrating birds with insects and nectar during their journey. Black-eyed Susan and Smooth Aster extend the flowering season and produce seed heads that persist into winter. Prairie Dropseed, a graceful prairie grass, offers cover and seeds for ground-feeding birds, while Big Bluestem adds dramatic structure and habitat value. Together, these plants create a resilient, ecologically rich landscape of shifting hues—white, gold, blue, purple, and deep wine—that is as beautiful to the gardener as it is valuable to birds. 12 plants total, covers approximately 46 sq ft. Quantities of each variety listed below.

We want our customers to receive strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in their gardens and homes. Here's what we'd like you to know about our shipping practices.

Delivery Timing

We aim to deliver your plants at as close to the proper time for planting in your area as possible. To do so, we consider the USDA Hardiness Zone to which we're shipping, current and forecasted weather at the destination and along the shipping route, and whether your plants are ready for transplant.

In spring, we ship first to the warmest regions and move north as planting conditions improve. For fall deliveries, we begin with the coolest regions and work south. We frequently adjust shipping schedules when extreme weather could put plants at risk while in transit or soon after arrival.

Because different plants reach readiness at different rates and are weather-sensitive in varying degree, a single order may be delivered via multiple shipments. Plants sold as part of a collection, or that are otherwise meant to arrive together, will be shipped together. Please contact our customer service team with two weeks' advance notice if you anticipate being away at the expected time of delivery. 

Tracking information for each package is delivered via email. 

Plant & Container Sizes

We deliver plants in various sizes and stages of growth, and the product detail pages of our website indicate the form and/or pot size in which the plant will be delivered. Pot sizes range from 1 pint to 1 gallon and larger. Many perennials, roses, shrubs and vines are delivered bareroot - that is, not in a container at all. Bulbs and tubers are generally delivered bareroot and fully dormant. We choose container sizes and delivery methods based on how each plant grows best, how we can minimize transplant shock, and how to minimize unnecessary bulk/weight in shipment. 

Caring for Your Plants Upon Arrival

It is important to acclimate greenhouse-grown plants to life outdoors. All plant shipments include simple instructions for handling your plants upon arrival. Further how-to information, including planting instructions, is available on each plant's product page.

At White Flower Farm, we stand firmly behind every product we sell and are proud to offer a money-back guarantee on each and every item offered on our website and at our store in Connecticut. Some modest terms and conditions apply, click here for details.
