Every year I plant a variety of flowers that attract gold finches. I find my gold finches especially love Heliopsis “Summer Sun.” I’ve planted “Summer Sun”, a perennial, in a variety of locations and beside a window so I can observe the finches up close! I also keep a feeder filled with niger seed. Although gold finches are common I want to keep them in my yard year round to enjoy their beauty.
