Choose early-blooming perennials like bee balm, salvia, and columbine to attract hummingbirds to your garden. Plant in clusters for a continuous food source.
Bee Balm: This vibrant flower blooms in early summer, attracting hummingbirds with its nectar-rich blossoms. Choose varieties in red, pink, or purple hues for a stunning display.
Salvia: With its tubular flowers, salvia is a favorite of hummingbirds. Opt for varieties like 'Black and Blue' or 'Hot Lips' for a pop of color and continuous blooms.
Columbine: Delicate and dainty, columbine flowers provide a whimsical addition to your garden. Hummingbirds are drawn to their unique shape and sweet nectar.
Maintenance Tips: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Provide a water source nearby for hummingbirds to stay hydrated. Enjoy the beauty and activity they bring!
