How to Care for the Best Perennial Flowers to Ensure Hummingbird Safety

Choose nectar-rich flowers like bee balm, salvia, and penstemon. Plant in clusters for easy spotting. Avoid pesticides to protect hummingbirds.

Provide a water source like a birdbath or fountain. Hummingbirds need to drink and bathe. Keep water clean and shallow for safety.

Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage new growth and more flowers. Prune as needed to maintain plant health and shape.

Fertilize sparingly with a balanced formula to avoid overstimulating growth. Follow specific care instructions for each perennial flower variety.

Monitor for pests and diseases. Treat promptly and organically to avoid harm to hummingbirds. Keep garden clean and free of debris.

Create a hummingbird-friendly environment with perches and shelter. Enjoy watching these beautiful birds thrive in your perennial flower garden.
