Hummingbirds love our flowers

We plant lots of flowers for the hummingbirds, and this time of year they’re all in bloom. Hummingbirds really love bee balm which is just starting to bloom now. Hummingbirds also love Columbine, lilies, and honeysuckle. All of those plants are perennials, which come back year after year, and take some time to get going and blooming. An annual that you can still plant now and is available at the nursery still in Salvia. Hummingbirds are especially attracted to red salvia. Once the red salvia begins to grow in they will flower continuously and provide plenty of food for the hummingbirds until they fly south in the fall.
