Hummingbirds are starting to arrive, so you can put out the feeders anytime. I am not an expert gardener and things like soil type and shade are probably things to consider when selecting plants. Some of the plants i see referenced in a hummingbird gardening book include: hollyhock snapdragon golden and western columbine red basil canna lily larkspur foxglove coral belles impatiens cardinal flower four-o'clock bee balm Egyptian star phlox obedient plant Texas, tropical and scarlet sage as well as other sages Salvia fire pink, Indian Pink nasturtium Your nursery can probably help with choices. Areas with a single color (all red, for example) seem to do a better job in attracting hummers than a mix of colors. Good luck. |
