Default How to Attract Hummingbirds

I was chatting with a friend today about attracting Hummingbirds so I did a little research.

Here's some links to some sites about Hummingbirds.

http://www.hummingbirds.net/attract.html - plants

http://www.hummingbirds.net/feeders.html - feeders

One of my favorites for plants is hanging baskets with fuchsias. Fuchsia like morning sun and afternoon shade and not a lot of heat. If you are in a hot area, just make sure the baskets get a lot of water. Hummers love Fushias. If you put your feeder near the hanging basket, they will find it.

They also love petunias, and penstemons. Any type of flower with a throat...

Honeysuckle is another good one if you have a yard that will handle it.



Or Columbine
