Hummingbird-Attracting Plants
Brightly-colored flowers in reds,
oranges, and pinks attract hummingbirds, but not all
of these flowers provide nutrition for these birds.
Large, tubular flowers are most likely to
contain nectar.
Hang a hummingbird
feeder near your house or garden to keep these
favorite visitors returning.
