Plant Cerinthe Honeywort and Tanacetum parthenium Aureum to attract hummingbirds with colorful, nectar-rich, low-maintenance blooms.

Select desert-adapted plants, ensure open spaces, provide wind shelter, maintain water features, and regularly care for the garden to create a bird-friendly oasis for hummingbirds.

Encourage community involvement by sharing experiences, offering simple tips on using native plants, and participating in local initiatives to create hummingbird-friendly environments.

Attract hummingbirds by using ground cover plants like Red Flowering Currants, Redwood Sorrel, Wild Strawberries, and Woodland Strawberries for aesthetic value, soil retention, weed suppression, and moisture retention, especially in Pacific Northwest gardens.

Select moisture-tolerant plants like ilex glabra, hibiscus varieties, and scarlet beebalm to create a hummingbird-friendly garden that supports various pollinators.

Balance native and invasive plants thoughtfully to attract hummingbirds and support local ecosystems, managing invasive species carefully to prevent ecological damage.

Create a hummingbird-friendly edible garden by integrating multipurpose plants; it enhances biodiversity, combines beauty and functionality, and supports local ecosystems.

Create a container garden with a mix of native and nonnative plants to attract hummingbirds, using each species’ ideal conditions, practice companion planting, and utilize propagation techniques to enhance and maintain your garden year-round.
