One of the hummingbirds most favorite plants in my garden are the gladioulas. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter what color!
Reply:they seem to be attracted mainly to trumpet shaped flowers ...... lillies and my rose of sharon bush really attract them and they even go after my fake (dark pink) freshia on my front deck .....also trumpet flowers ... get a hummingbird feeder too... for the nectar you just boil one cup water with a quarter cup of regular sugar...let it cool and i put just a little jello powder in it before it starts cooling
Reply:In the back, we have trumper honeysuckle and they like it. Also have seen them on the red roses.
Reply:My daughter bought a nectar pot that she fills with sugar water and hangs it outside her window. She get several different humming bird visiting daily.
Reply:This should help you - good luck.
