Creating a Hummingbird Garden: What You Need

Choose nectar-rich flowers like bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine. Provide water source, such as a shallow birdbath. Include perches for resting and nesting spots.

Plant native trees and shrubs for shelter and nesting. Create a variety of heights in your garden with tall trees, shrubs, and low-growing plants. Avoid pesticides to protect hummingbirds.

Select feeders with bright red colors to attract hummingbirds. Hang feeders in shaded areas to prevent nectar spoilage. Clean feeders regularly to avoid mold growth.

Add a hummingbird swing for entertainment and perching. Use mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. Install wind chimes or water features for additional sensory appeal.

Maintain a year-round food source by planting early, mid, and late blooming flowers. Provide a mix of tubular and flat flowers for different hummingbird species. Enjoy watching these delightful birds in your garden!
