The Hummingbird Flower Garden

It was not a hummingbird flower garden specifically planted.............

but "luck" that brought my first hummingbird to our garden.

"Nature creates ability,

Luck provides it

With Opportunity"

-Francois de la Rochefoucauld

With curiosity, I watched a hummingbird zoom from bloom to bloom not yet understanding how simple attracting more birds would soon become.

Are you also a gardener who would like to attract hummingbirds?

Perhaps you are a back porch gardener who only likes to set out a few pots or hanging baskets of flowers.

Maybe you like to plant vines or trees.

It doesn't matter hummingbirds will come.

Hummingbird vines are expecially enticing.

Here is a little planting advice.

What a marvel it is for me today to watch hummingbirds pollinate my flowers by dipping their bills into each bloom for the nectar.

The pollen clings to their bills and gorgeous iridescent feathers.

As the hummingbirds fly from flower to flower, pollen is transferred.

The pollen fertilizes the flowers and everyone is happy.

• The hummingbird who enjoyed a good meal.
• The flowers who's survival is ensured.


• And you the proud owner of a beautiful garden with numerous birds.

And even Trees

As pollinators, hummingbirds benefit our natural environment. When planting a hummingbird flower garden, never use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Doing so can harm hummingbirds and the good earth.

We compiled a list of plants preferred by hummingbirds and sorted them for you by zone.

You can follow the USDA hardiness zones as a general guide by selecting the zone that shows the lowest winter temperatures that can occur in your area.

Planting Zones

We have put together a page of Hummingbird Flower Planting Zones which will recommend plants for your "hummingbird flower garden" in each particular planting zone. Use the USDA Zone Map and compare the Minimum temperatures of your area to get the zone of your location.

HAPPY GARDENING!
