| Any lily, tubular or red flower whether shrub or perennial attracts and provides nectar. Some plants are more attractive & if you have a variety of plants with different blooming sequence they will stay in your yard. What really attracts them is moving water from a fountain! A sampling of what I've seen them coming to in order of bloom in my garden rhododedendrons I'm probably forgetting something. Once the bee balms are blooming I can sit out front in a chair and watch them zoom from garden to garden where I've planted different bee balms. The reds are their favorites all summer long. I regularly see them in the morning near the fountains as soon as we put them out again in spring and resting on nearby plant trellis & supports. |

| My red hot poker (Kniphofia) is attracting hummingbirds like magnets! I planted it last year and it flowered amazingly this year!Try that... it's very interesting looking, quite inexpensive and multiplies so you can divide it and have quite a lot of them in a few years. |
