Landscape design is about making sure that you have the features you want in a front or backyard, no matter what they may be. While it’s important to consider grass, hardscape, trees, and other installations, sometimes you’ll want to consider the environment that you hope to create for yourself.



So, what are the best flowers for attracting hummingbirds? For example, many imagine a magical landscape that is filled with beautiful wildlife. Perhaps one of the most popular forms of wildlife is the hummingbird – a cute, tiny bird that floats in the air and feeds on your plant life.

Flowers for Attracting Hummingbirds

Only some plants are likely to attract hummingbirds, so if you are imagining the idea of hummingbirds fluttering around in your garden, you will need to consider installing the right types of flowers.

Some of the flowers and plants that you may want to consider to attract hummingbirds include:

• Lilies
• Verbenas
• Scarlet Sages
• Foxgloves
• Larkspurs
• Bee Balms
• Butterfly Bushes

These, of course, are only some of the plant life that is available for hummingbirds to feed on. Other flowers you may want to consider include Desert Candles, Flowering Tobacco, Red Hot Pokers, Scarlet Honeysuckles, Petunias, and so much more. It is also important to note, however, that how the plants are installed may also make a difference, as hummingbirds need space to flutter, seek out bright colors, and may be more likely to visit if a water feature is also installed.
