Hummingbirds are important pollinators due to their long beaks and tongues that allow them to reach nectar deep within flowers, transferring pollen as they feed.
By attracting hummingbirds to your garden with nectar-rich flowers like bee balm and salvia, you can increase pollination and biodiversity in your outdoor space.
Hummingbirds are particularly drawn to red and orange tubular flowers, making plants like trumpet vine and cardinal flower excellent choices for a hummingbird-friendly garden.
In addition to pollination, hummingbirds also eat insects, helping to naturally control pest populations in your garden without the need for harmful chemicals.
Creating a welcoming habitat for hummingbirds with a variety of flowers, water sources, and perches will not only benefit these tiny birds but also enhance the beauty of your garden.
