You don't need a garden full of colorful flowers to attract hummingbirds. These feeders are bright enough to do the job. If you've never attracted hummingbirds before, place these feeders out in the open where they can be seen from all directions. Hummingbirds will find them and quickly learn to expect to find an easy source of food from them. Once the hummingbirds know about the feeders you can begin to move them closer or to a better viewing spot.

If you do wish to plant some flowers which will provide nectar and attract insects, an important part of a hummingbird's diet, we suggest the following plants if they are zoned for your area: coral honeysuckle, cuphea, salvias, red yucca, cardinal flower and bee balm. There are many plants that will work, red tubular flowers are at the top of the lists.
