Choose native plants like bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine that provide nectar-rich blooms throughout the season.
Hang hummingbird feeders filled with a sugar-water solution in your garden. Keep them clean and filled to attract and nourish these tiny visitors.
Hummingbirds need water for drinking and bathing. Set up a shallow birdbath or misting station to offer them a refreshing spot to cool off.
Include trees, shrubs, and tall grasses in your garden to provide shelter and nesting sites for hummingbirds. They will appreciate safe spots to rest and raise their young.
Opt for natural pest control methods to keep your garden hummingbird-friendly. Pesticides can harm these birds directly or by contaminating their food sources.
Place small branches or thin poles around your garden for hummingbirds to rest on between feeding flights. Perches give them a place to observe and rest.
Regularly clean feeders, birdbaths, and garden areas to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure a healthy environment for hummingbirds.
