Ideas for Plants to Plant in Bird Baths

You can purchase a cracked birdbath from a yard sale if your goal is to find different plants for bird baths. These containers work well with succulents and plants that have short roots. Make sure you choose the right potting mix to grow your plants. Plant succulents with cactus potting mix. To slow down the rate of water evaporation, it is best to place your birdbath under partial shade. You should also check the water level. It can cause the roots to become swollen.

A variety of succulents make excellent plants for birdbaths. Carolina moonseed, which is yellow, purple or pink in appearance, makes a beautiful addition to the bluebird's white wings. You can also grow Virginia creeper and trumpet creeper, both with lovely foliage. All of these plants are hardy in USDA zones 6-9. Some varieties can thrive in cooler areas, while others may do well in warmer climates.

Weeping myoporum, another excellent choice for birdbaths, is also a great option. This large shrub can be grown in shade. Its beautiful white flowers attract insects. Because they are very small and require little care, dwarf conifers make great plants for birdbaths. Jervis dwarf Canadian Canadian hemlock is the best, along with Mont Bruno boxwood (and lime glow juniper). Dwarf Conifers can also be used as perches by birds.

You can fill a birdbath using rocks, small artifacts, or flowers. You should also add herbs to your bird bath. This way you can have many herbs to use in cooking or other activities. This is especially useful during winter, when cold temperatures can threaten your plants. There are many options available for you to choose from, and the plants don't just have to be flowers.

Birds are natural feeders, and will flock to a birdbath when they need water. Birds love food and water so make sure you have plenty of bird feeders. Different bird species like different sizes and heights. A garden center can sell you a high-quality, hypertufa feeder. You can also place suet feeders and platform feeders in addition to feeding birds.

A flowering hedge, another plant that attracts birds, is another. It offers cover, food, and shelter for birds. Two of these are enough to keep your birds happy in your yard. This type can be used as a windbreak or hedge. The shrubs provide shelter and food as well as a great source of food. So, when planting your birdbath, consider planting a variety of flowers and shrubs that are attractive to birds.
