Plants that Attract Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds can see the color red, especially a large area of it, from over a half mile away. Use a combination of hummingbird feeders as well as masses of the plants below to attract hummingbirds to your garden. Provide a succession of red flowering plants, luring migrating hummingbirds to stop along their long journey, as well as keep your yard attractive to hummingbirds during the summer and into the fall. Although hummingbird feeders filled with nectar will attract many hummingbirds, other hummingbirds prefer natural nectar sources.
