How to Care for Perennial Flowers

Plant a variety of nectar-rich perennials like bee balm, salvia, and columbine. Provide a water source and avoid pesticides to attract hummingbirds for breeding.

Choose a sunny location with shelter from wind for your perennial garden. Prune faded flowers to encourage new growth and maintain a healthy habitat for hummingbirds.

Mulch your perennial beds to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize sparingly to avoid excess nitrogen, which can harm hummingbirds and their offspring.

Monitor your garden for signs of pests or diseases and take prompt action to protect your perennial flowers. Regularly clean feeders and water sources to prevent contamination.

Create a welcoming environment for hummingbirds by adding perches and nesting materials near your perennial garden. Enjoy watching these beautiful birds thrive in your carefully tended space.
