  • Birdseed to Plant: Discover What Grows from Common Birdseed Ingredients
    Birdseed is a mixture of different seeds, so what it grows into depends on the specific seeds in the mix.

    Here are some common birdseed ingredients and what they grow into:

    * Sunflower seeds: Sunflowers

    * Nyjer (thistle) seeds: Thistle plants (not the kind that grows prickly weeds!)

    * Milo: Sorghum, a grain used for livestock feed and sometimes for human consumption

    * Safflower seeds: Safflower plants, which produce edible oil and yellow dye

    * Wheat: Wheat plants, which produce grain for bread and other foods

    * Oats: Oat plants, which produce grains for oatmeal, breakfast cereal, and animal feed

    * Corn: Corn plants, which produce ears of corn

    * Cracked corn: Corn plants

    If you're wondering what a specific birdseed mix will grow into, check the packaging for a list of ingredients. You can then research those seeds online or in a gardening book to see what kind of plants they will produce.
