What’s your favorite hummingbird attracting plant? 🪻

Penstemons are native wildflowers that hummingbirds naturally recognize and rely on. Their tubular blooms match the shape of a hummingbird’s bill and provide plenty of nectar. Many more Hummingbird plants to come.

Thank you for being here! 🙌

I have Goldflame Honeysuckle in my backyard in Zone 8b, Vancouver, Canada. The hummingbirds love it. But I am going to look for some of your recommendations like Cat Mint and Vermillionaire, Salvia, Bee balm and Penstemon. I hope I can find them here.

The hummer loves our honeysuckle bush! She always manages to startle me because I think she is some kind of killer bee! lol

Lemon Geraniums, Albutilen, Firecracker, Trumpet vines and I have fountains with a flat surface. So fun to watch them take a bath.

I heard they smell. At least the seeds do. Is it all penstemons or just some?
