Hummingbirds are attracted to certain plants for their nectar-rich flowers. Here are three plants that will keep hummingbirds coming back to your yard:
Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans): Known for its vibrant trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, or yellow, trumpet vine is a favorite of hummingbirds. Plant it in a sunny spot with support for its climbing vines.
Bee Balm (Monarda): Bee balm produces clusters of tubular flowers in shades of red, pink, purple, or white.
Its aromatic foliage and nectar-rich blooms attract not only hummingbirds but also bees and butterflies. Plant it in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade to full sun.
Salvia (Salvia spp.): Salvias, such as scarlet sage (Salvia coccinea) or black and blue sage (Salvia guaranitica), produce long spikes of colorful flowers that hummingbirds love.
Choose varieties with red, pink, purple, or blue flowers and plant them in full sun with well-drained soil.
By including these plants in your yard, you can create a hummingbird-friendly environment that will attract these delightful birds and provide them with a natural food source throughout the season.
