I don’t cut back plants until spring. Any creature requiring a duvet of leaves, or a seed head sojourn, is welcome in my garden. Caught in sunlight, seed heads provide a heart-sing moment in January. Just when we all need some cheer.
Rudbeckia seed heads. Sunny all summer, a joy all winter. I love the mini five “petal” flowers in the centre of the seed head. A flower within a flower.
What are your favourite seed heads at the moment?
Bramble Garden 
Eupatorium and echinops

I am enjoying the echinacea turning into pointy hats as the seeds fall (or are removed).

Oh yes, that’s a good one too. The birds love the seed. All the best. Karen.

I completely agree . Just came home on a freezing January day to find a small flock of siskins on the marjarom , hollyhocks and tansy l didn’t cut down. The birds are starving, a few seed heads may save them!

Absolutely agree. Every little helps. A few seed heads might make the difference between surviving a cold snap and succumbing to the cold. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. All the best. Karen.
