This list is not meant to be all inclusive but to give you some choices when planning and designing a hummingbird garden in your yard.
By planting some of these flowers and shrubs in your yard you will encourage hummingbirds to your garden. You can encourage hummingbirds by hanging, filling and properly maintaining hummingbird feeders.
Ensure the nectar in your feeder is fresh and the appropriate sugar concentration. Do not use red food colouring as these artificial dyes cause the birds’ egg shells to be too thin, killing their young. Ensure there are no moulds growing in the hummingbird nectar.
Always thoroughly clean the feeder each and every time prior to refilling.
