Hummingbird Attracting Perennials Abound!
Most North American hummingbirds migrate farther south for winter and as they make long journeys in spring and fall they need ample food along the way. Stock your garden with perennials that provide nectar for hummingbirds throughout the growing season.
Hummingbirds prefer plants with tube-shaped flowers. And while the old wisdom about plants with red flowers holds true, hummingbirds will visit blossoms of any hue, as long as they provide plenty of nectar.
Adding perennials for hummingbirds is an easy way to benefit both birds and humans. We get the joy of seeing these colorful jewels up close, and hummingbirds find a welcoming environment that provides them food and shelter.
Some of the beautiful perennials we suggest and have in stock are:
Foxglove
Lupine
Penstemon
Phygelius
Russian Sage
Salvia
