Birdfeeders

Hummingbirds in your area will most likely find your hummingbird feeders even without plants to attract them nearby, but if you really want hummingbirds to frequent your yard, the best thing to do is plant flowers they love. Most of these flowers or red or orange and have a tubular shape that is a perfect fit for the hummingbird’s bill. Flowers provide a constant food source and also make your yard attractive. Among the most popular hummingbird plants are beebalm, many salvia and sage species and the trumpetvine. Every area has different plants that attractive to hummingbirds and are available at your local garden center. We have found that a bed of salvia in our yard encourages many more hummers to visit our hummingbird feeders. The most important consideration for your hummingbird garden is to plan for continuous blooming throughout the summer and into the fall.
