For those who enjoy both gardening and bird watching, it is fortunate that there are so many great plants for attracting hummingbirds. Bird watchers desirous of drawing these fine-feathered beauties with nectar-filled flowers will not need to sacrifice landscaping impact at all.
The variety of plants for attracting hummingbirds is so great that, in the process of building hummingbird gardens, you could also be building a landscape that will be the talk of the neighborhood.
You are not limited to using red flowers either, although red is famous for catching the attention of these winged wonders. In this list of nectar-rich plants commonly used for attracting hummingbirds, you will see lots of red flowers, but also purple, white, orange, pink, and blue hues, too.
The selection of plants for your hummingbird garden should not be based solely on flower color. Aim for a mix of different sizes, textures, forms, and bloom times. Take advantage of the diversity of plant types available at your local garden center to achieve a well-rounded landscape. You can choose from annuals, perennials, vines, shrubs, trees, bedding plants, and hanging plants.
Flower Factors to Consider
In addition to being attractive flowers for hummingbirds, the following criteria should be considered when selecting plants:
- Diversity in height and shape to increase landscape design options
- Showiness of bloom
- Ease of maintenance and planting
- Color choices within the species
- Attractiveness of foliage
- Early blooming or long blooming period
Vines, Bushes, and Herbaceous Perennials
Vines and bushes are important to include for those who want to combine effective landscape design with the hobby of watching hummingbirds or butterflies. Bushes can be used as structural elements to form a border to separate two properties. They can be similarly employed within your own property bounds to define distinct outdoor spaces.
Even a driveway can be transformed from a humdrum component of a landscape to an aesthetic achievement if bordered by attractive bushes. A vine-covered arbor can likewise be an important structural element of a landscape, furnishing it with a focal point.
Here are some of the best annuals, perennials, vines, and herbaceous plants to serve as hummingbird magnets for perennial flower beds.

Bee Balm
The Spruce / Adrienne Legault
The long-blooming perennial bee balm (Monarda didyma) is a fine choice for plants in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9. This member of the mint family with red or light purple blooms likes soil that is slightly acidic and on the moist side. It reaches a maximum of 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide (many cultivars are smaller). Full sun in the North is best; in the South, give it partial shade.
-

Phlox (Phlox paniculata)
The Spruce / Adrienne Legault
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata) bears fragrant flowers that draw hummingbirds to yards in zones 3 to 8.
These perennials can give you a number of different looks, including the variegated leaves of 'Nora Leigh' (24 to 36 inches tall with a width about half that) and the white flowers of the mildew-resistant 'David' cultivar (3 to 4 feet tall, spreading about 2 to 3 feet) that make it a good moon garden plant. Give garden phlox full sun in the North, partial sun in the South. -

Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadense)
The Spruce / Adrienne Legault
Red columbine (Aquilegia canadense) is a 2-foot-tall perennial for zones 2 to 8. Its blooms are showy and timely and are perfect for attracting hummingbirds just beginning to return north from their winter homes. Columbine performs well in partial shade.
-
04 of 19
Blue lupine (Lupinus perennis)
The Spruce / K. Dave
Blue lupine (Lupinus perennis) is native to North America; grow it in zones 3 to 9. Two feet tall when in bloom, this plant isn't as showy as the non-native lupines, but native plant enthusiasts will gladly give up a little pizzazz to see hummingbirds sipping nectar from a made-in-America perennial.
Give it full sun in the North, partial shade in the South. -
05 of 19
Delphinium
The Spruce / Autumn Wood
Delphinium and hollyhock are two traditional favorites that supply hummingbirds with food. Their value also comes from the heights they reach. Some delphiniums (full sun) can be grown in zones 2 to 9, and they often grow to be 5 feet tall.
-
06 of 19
Hollyhocks (Alcea)
The Spruce / Evgeniya Vlasova
Sun-loving hollyhocks (Alcea) often outgrow even the delphiniums and are hardy to zone 3. Technically biennials, hollyhocks self-seed so well that they are usually treated as if they were perennials. Both delphiniums and hollyhocks come in a variety of colors and, due to their stately stature, are an excellent choice to form a back row in a tiered perennial bed.
-
07 of 19
Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
The Spruce / Autumn Wood
Seek the 'Lucifer' cultivar of Crocosmia (30 to 36 inches tall and about half as wide) for flowers in the orange-to-red color range.
This South African native is "for the birds," while rabbit pests avoid it. Crocosmia plants spring out of corms and should be grown in full sun to partial shade, in zones 5 to 9. -
08 of 19
Salvia (Salvia nemorosa)
The Spruce / Krystal Slagle
Cold-hardy to zone 4 or 5, Salvia nemorosa is usually known for its spikes of bluish or purplish flowers. But this perennial salvia also attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Many cultivars are available. Size is commonly 18 to 24 inches in height, with a similar spread. The leaves are lance-shaped and give off a pungent aroma. Give Salvia nemorosa full sun and adequate water, and deadhead it, and it will provide color all summer long.
-

Coral Bells (Heuchera spp.)
The Spruce / Evgeniya Vlasova
The plants are small, and the flowers on them even smaller, but Heuchera spp. do attract hummingbirds. 'Blondie' is a cultivar of coral bells with yellow flowers for zones 4 to 9.
This perennial can take full sun. It's a small (5 inches when not in bloom) plant, useful at the front of a perennial border. -
10 of 19
Impatient Lucy (Impatiens)
The Spruce / Leticia Almeida
Impatiens is a bedding plant that draws hummingbirds. This small annual will grow in shade, giving you a chance to attract hummingbirds to your yard even if you have a small property and even if you don't get much sun on your land. Impatient Lucy doesn't get much bigger than a foot tall, and it commonly flowers in white, red, pink, violet, coral, or purple.

Butterfly Bush (Buddleia davidii)
The Spruce / Leticia Almeida
A shrub that has a prime place in sunny hummingbird gardens is Buddleia davidii. It can get 6 to 12 feet tall with a spread of 4 to 15 feet in warm climates. For some growers, that is too big, so consider pruning it back to the ground in late winter or early spring.
It will re-emerge from its root system. If you need a further incentive for pruning butterfly bush, take into account that you get more and bigger blooms on butterfly bush's new growth that hummingbirds can feed from. Treat butterfly bush as if it were an herbaceous perennial rather than a shrub.
Blooms on butterfly bushes can be purple, pink, white, or red, and they usually have an orange throat in the center. Grow this shrub in zones 5 to 10. It can be invasive in some areas, including the Pacific Northwest. A new cultivar, 'Blue Chip,' is touted as a non-invasive alternative.

Rhododendron
The Spruce / Evgeniya Vlasova
Catawba rhododendron shrubs (Rhododendron catawbiense) are broadleaf evergreen bushes that have dark-green, leathery foliage. They bear spectacular flowers in the spring that are effective for attracting hummingbirds. This rhododendron shrub is easy to transplant, but, like other rhododendrons, it does require acidic soil.
It grows best in zones 4 to 8 and in partial shade. Blooms can be white, lavender, rose, or the red that hummingbirds love so much. Catawba can reach a height of 6 to 8 feet, with a spread of 4 to 6 feet.
A bigger rhododendron is the 'Red Walloper' cultivar, named for its big, reddish-pink flower heads. It becomes 10 feet by 10 feet and takes full sun to partial shade. It isn't as hardy as Catawba, being suited only to zones 7 to 9. A rhododendron display is most effective when bushes are massed together.
Warning
Rhododendron is toxic to people, dogs, cats, and other pets.

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)
The Spruce / Autumn Wood
Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a late-blooming shrub with an upright growing habit that can reach a height of 8 to 10 feet with a spread of 4 to 6 feet. These bushes profit from pruning and do best in full sun. Blooms can be red, pink, blue, or white. They work well in shrub borders in zones 5 to 9.
-
14 of 19
Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans)
The Spruce / David Beaulieu
Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) produces orange or reddish-orange to salmon flowers throughout most of the summer months in zones 4 to 9. Provide this 40-foot-tall vine with an arbor, trellis, or fence, and let it climb. This vigorous vine needs to be pruned back to keep it "within bounds." Indeed, even in the southeastern U.S. (to which it is native), this vine is sometimes considered a weed. It may be too aggressive or invasive for many gardeners, so do not grow it if you do not want it popping up all over your yard. It does best in full sun to partial shade.
-
15 of 19
Honeysuckle
The Spruce / Adrienne Legault
Honeysuckle vines can be grown in full sun to partial shade. Magnifica honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens 'Magnifica'), with its large, scarlet flowers that attract hummingbirds, can be grown in zones 3 to 9.
Unlike trumpet vine, this 10-to-20 foot plant is a true creeper, meaning a bit more maintenance is required to get it to climb a trellis, thereby achieving the best display. Lonicera sempervirens is sometimes called "trumpet honeysuckle," so do not confuse it with trumpet vine. Both may have "trumpet" in their common names, but, as you can see from their scientific names, they are two totally distinct plants. Hall's Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica 'Halliana'; zones 4 to 9) is a 15-foot-tall vine hardy to zone 5 and valued for its tricolored (yellow, orange, red) floral show.
-

Cardinal Vine (Ipomoea x multifida)
The Spruce / Marie Ianotti
As its name suggests, the cardinal vine (Ipomoea x multifida) has a striking red bloom. This 10-to-15-foot vine must be treated as an annual north of zone 6. Grow it in full sun. A more commonly grown plant in the same genus that attracts hummingbirds is Ipomoea tricolor 'Heavenly Blue.
' The latter is the annual vine that's famous for bearing those wonderfully sky-blue flowers on vines 10 feet tall. Do not confuse cardinal vine with "cardinal flower" (Lobelia cardinalis), a perennial (zones 2 to 7) that also attracts hummingbirds. Because it likes moist soil, Lobelia cardinalis is an excellent choice for the rim of a water garden. It reaches 2 to 4 feet tall, with a spread half that.
-
17 of 19
Lantana (Lantana camara)
The Spruce / Adrienne Legault
Lantana plants (Lantana camara) are perennials in zones 8 to 10, where they become 6 feet tall, with a spread of 8 feet. But, in colder climates, Lantana plants are more often used as annuals for hanging baskets and stay much smaller. The 'Spreading Sunset' cultivar has a flower head with gold centers surrounded by an orange that later fades to pink. Like most of the entries on the list, these plants are sun-lovers.
-
18 of 19
Fuchsia (Fuchsia)
The Spruce / Kara Riley
Another hummingbird magnet normally found in hanging baskets in the North is Fuchsia.
Unlike Lantana, this one should be grown in shade. It is even more tender than Lantana (zone 10 or 11). Flower color is commonly pink, purple, red, white, or violet, and the most popular types have bicolored flowers. It is shrubby and becomes 1 to 2 feet tall and wide. -
19 of 19
Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin)
The Spruce / Evgeniya Vlasova
A tree that attracts hummingbirds is the silk tree, or "mimosa" (Albizia julibrissin). It's a member of the pea family. At the southern end of its range, this vigorous Chinese exotic quickly naturalizes in areas disturbed by humans. It is considered an invasive plant in the southeastern U.S. Its puffy, pink flowers are aromatic, and its nectar attracts hummingbirds in zones 6 to 9. It stands 20 to 40 feet with a canopy that can be as wide as 50 feet. Locate this tree in full sun to partial shade.
Planning a Landscape
When drawing a landscape plan to determine what goes where in a new landscape layout, landscape designers divide the property into "activity zones.
" In this case, the activity zones will focus on viewing hummingbirds as they feed on nectar. A diverse group of plant types serves different functions:
- Vines: The vine plants selected should be allowed to grow on arbors for the best impact. Position the arbor so that you will be able to watch the hummingbirds from a window inside your home.
- Shrubs: Mass the shrub plants in a border or on a landscaping berm to form sheltered areas. Breaking up a large, flat expanse is important, not only for visual effect but particularly when trying to attract secretive wildlife.
- Hanging plants: Sketch a patio into your plan to house the hanging plants selected. If your patio will be shaded, use Fuchsia hangers, not Lantana. It is often convenient to combine patios with pergolas or arbors since the latter will give you a place from which to hang your patio's hanging plants.
- Flower bed and hardscape: Perennial flower beds are the finishing touch, to be implemented at the very end.
You would want to work on hardscape elements first, such as arbors and patios. Next comes the planting of the larger plants, such as the silk tree and the shrubs. It is only after all this heavy work is done that you would want to plant your annuals or perennials in beds or install your Fuchsia or Lantana hangers. Otherwise, you unnecessarily expose fragile plants to the risk of damage.

27 Gorgeous Plants That Attract Hummingbirds to Your Garden
Photo: istockphoto.
com
Although more than 300 known species of hummingbird grace gardens around the world, only about a dozen species routinely migrate through North America, and even fewer remain year-round in the warmest areas of the West. These amazingly tiny birds—the smallest bird in the world is the bee hummingbird, which weighs less than an ounce—mostly prefer the warmth of the tropics in Central and South America.
These voracious flying gems have the highest metabolic rate of any animal on earth and spend most of their waking hours in search of the sugary nectar that provides most of their energy. A single hummingbird might visit as many as 2,000 flowers in one day, lapping up nectar with its extremely long tongue. If you want to know how to attract hummingbirds to your yard, take note: They are particularly attracted to brightly colored flowers with a tubular shape.
If you live in an area visited by hummingbirds during the spring and summer months—typically, that’s the ruby-throated hummingbird in the East, and Costa’s, Anna’s, Allen’s, black-chinned, and rufous hummingbirds in the West—you can encourage them to visit your garden by growing some of the many plants that attract hummingbirds.
Instead of (or in addition to) maintaining a hummingbird feeder, add any of these flowers and let the natural nectar replace homemade hummingbird food. The good news is that you don’t have to clean flowers, as you do the feeders.
What kind of flowers do hummingbirds like? Plenty! These plants produce hummingbird-friendly flowers and will add cheerful pops of color to your garden.
1. Lantana (Lantana camara)Photo: istockphoto.com
Lantana’s exuberant flowers—the individual blooms are tiny, but burst forth in tight clusters—attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Some lantana varieties display just one color of flower per cluster, but most feature clusters that combine hot pink and yellow or orange and red. Grow lantana in a sunny spot, and let the soil dry slightly between waterings. In areas with winter temperatures below freezing, lantana survives as an annual, but it thrives year-round in the warmest climates.
Blooms: Late spring through frost where grown as an annual; nearly year-round in warmer regions
Colors/Varieties: Pink/yellow/orange, red, purple, and white
USDA Growing Zones: Annual in Zones 1 to 8, perennial in Zones 9 to 11
2. Penstemon (Penstemon species)Photo: istockphoto.com
A large family of North American natives, penstemon species appear in many colors and heights, but all produce tubular blooms that hummingbirds love, especially if you choose purple, red, or pink varieties. Two particularly good varieties are firecracker (Penstemon eatonii) and Parry’s penstemon (Penstemon parryi). Penstemon is a fairly easy perennial to grow in a sunny location with excellent soil drainage. Don’t fertilize often; penstemon prefers slightly poor soil.
Blooms: Early to mid-summer
Colors/Varieties: Blue, purple, pink, white, and red
USDA Growing Zones: Varies, depending on the species, of which there are 250
3.
Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans)Photo: istockphoto.com
Also called trumpet creeper, this glorious vine explodes in summer through fall with bright orange flowers that hummers simply cannot resist. A native to eastern North America, trumpet vine grows quickly and vigorously, and needs a strong arbor, trellis, or fence for support. Cut it back as needed to keep it under control, and don’t water or fertilize too frequently; this hardy vine prefers slightly poor, dry soil.
Blooms: Throughout summer and fall
Colors/Varieties: Yellow, orange, and red
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 4 to 9

5. Salvia (Salvia species)Photo: istockphoto.com
Salvia is a large genus of plants in the mint family. The plants produce tall spikes of clustered flowers and have lance-shaped leaves that give off a distinctive fragrance when cut or crushed. While butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds flock to just about every variety of salvia, you can count on hummers visiting Salvia microphylla “Hot Lips,” which has 2-toned red and white blooms, and Salvia greggii, often called autumn sage.
This North American native produces red, purple, pink, or white flowers summer through fall. All salvias prefer sunny locations and are moderately drought resistant.
Blooms: Summer through fall
Colors Varieties: Blue, red, purple, orange, pink, yellow, white, green, and brown, with some multi-color varieties
USDA Growing Zones: Varies by variety, but some are hardy as far north as Zone 5.

6. Lupine (Lupinus x hybrid)Photo: istockphoto.com
Most lupines sold in garden centers are hybrids of various wild lupines. These North American natives feature a wide range of colors and sizes, but all produce spikes of tubular flowers that attract all types of pollinators, including hummingbirds. Plant lupine in a sunny location with good drainage and slightly acidic soil, and don’t fertilize it often.
While lupine is a tender perennial, in many areas, especially hot climates, it is treated as an annual.
Blooms: Spring and summer
Colors Varieties: White, pink, red, yellow, blue, purple, and bicolor
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 4 to 9
7. Columbine (Aquilegia species)Photo: istockphoto.com
Although columbine appears delicate, this perennial beauty is actually fairly easy to grow in areas that aren’t too hot during its summer bloom time. While there are many cultivars and hybrids of columbine, all of which attract hummingbirds, one that is especially appealing is red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis). Plant columbine in a partly shady spot and keep it moist but not soggy. Cutting spent flowers encourages repeat blooms.
Blooms: Spring to summer
Colors Varieties: Red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, pink, and white
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 3 to 8

Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)Photo: istockphoto.com
Hummingbirds find the bright red tubular blooms of cardinal flower irresistible, and the tiny fliers are the primary pollinator of this North American native. While technically a perennial, cardinal flower does not live long, but it does reseed prolifically. This woodland flower likes some shade and does best in moist soil; covering the soil with mulch helps the plant thrive. As a bonus, deer rarely bother this garden showstopper.
Blooms: Summer to early fall
Colors Varieties: Red, pink, white, blue, and purple
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 3 to 9
9. Hosta (Hosta species)Photo: istockphoto.com
A mainstay of the shade garden, hosta varieties appear in an excellent assortment at most nurseries. And while most people think of hosta as a foliage plant—thanks to the many leaf colors and patterns available—it does bloom during the summer, mostly in small white or purple flowers.
Hummingbirds love the tubular blooms, which add beautiful contrast to the plant’s greenery. Keep hostas mulched and water them regularly. Watch out for snails, which love to nibble the leaves.
Blooms: Summer
Colors Varieties: White, lavender, and pink
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 3 to 9
10. Cigar Plant (Cuphea ignea)Photo: istockphoto.om
Also called firecracker plant, the cigar plant has long, thin, bright orange flowers that hummingbirds love. A native to Mexico, the cigar plant blooms exuberantly through the spring and summer. In cold climates, cigar plant generally serves as an annual, but it will thrive year-round in warmer areas. Water the plant regularly, pinch it back occasionally so it doesn’t get leggy, and grow it in full sun to part shade.
Blooms: Spring through fall
Colors Varieties: Red
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 10 to 12
11.
Flowering Tobacco (Nicotiana alata)Photo: istockphoto.com
Most varieties of flowering tobacco grown in the garden are annuals, although some can survive year-round in mild-winter climates. These delicate beauties bloom summer through fall, with the flowers opening during the evening to release a wonderful fragrance. Hummingbirds and other pollinators love the white, red, pink, or even green blossoms. Flowering tobacco does best in rich soil that drains well, and prefers not to be too hot or too cold. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a longer bloom time.
Blooms: Summer to fall
Colors Varieties: Yellow-green, white, pink, red, and yellow
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 10 to 11

Be sure to deadhead spent flowers for more blooms.
Blooms: Spring through fall
Colors Varieties: Red, burgundy, lavender, pink, salmon, orange, white, and bicolor
USDA Growing Zones: Annual in zones 1 to 9, perennial in 10 to 11
15.
Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis)Photo: istockphoto.com
Brighten up a shady or semi-shady spot with this delicate spring bloomer, which has arching branches of heart-shaped flowers that seem to drip out their insides in sorrow. An herbaceous perennial, it requires little care and dies back to the ground in late fall and returns in the spring. Bleeding heart prefers moist and nutrient-rich soil, and can spread into a 2-foot-wide by 2-foot-tall shrub with attractive serrated leaves.
Blooms: Spring
Colors Varieties: Pink, white, and red
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 2 to 9
16. Lilac (
Syringa vulgaris)Photo: istockphoto.com
Prized for its aromatic clusters of tiny purple or white flowers, this deciduous shrub can grow 8 to 15 feet tall. Its grayish bark is matched by gray-green or blue-green leaves. While some lilacs are small enough to grow near a home or in a garden bed, most varieties make better focal plants or grow in a group to form a border.
They can benefit from annual fertilizing and pruning, and should be grown in rich and moist soil that drains well.

17. Fuschia (
Fuchsia species)Photos: istockphoto.com
Fuschia, which is more accurately spelled Fuchsia for the botanist who named this beautiful flower, is a pretty hummer magnet no matter the spelling. Exotic single or double flowers dangle from elongated stems, making Fuschia an excellent candidate for hanging baskets. They prefer rich moist soil and partial to full shade, as well as protection from the wind, which can easily damage their delicate blooms.
Blooms: Spring through fall
Colors Varieties: Red, pink, white, violet, and purple
USDA Growing Zones: Annual in most, perennial in Zones 10 to 11
18.
Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus)Photo: istockphoto.com
Delighting children and gardeners for years, the snapdragon opens its “mouth” when pinched in the right spot—which pollinators do as they access the pollen hidden inside. Because the blooms open in stages from the bottom up, bloom time is extended. Snapdragons prefer moderate to cooler temps, and flowering may slow down in the heat of the summer, but will revive with early fall weather. Available in various sizes, snapdragons can add some height to a garden with their spiky blooms or add interest and hummingbird food to a mixed border.
Blooms: Spring through fall
Colors Varieties: White, yellow, pink, red, orange, peach, purple, and violet
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 7 to 11
19. Begonia (
Begonia species)Photo: istockphoto.com

One of the easiest, most forgiving, low-maintenance perennials is the daylily. Not fussy about soil or light, drought- and heat-tolerant, disease- and pest-free, this versatile plant works well in a border or on its own.
From grass-like leaves shoot leafless stems (scapes) bursting with several colorful and large trumpet-shaped flowers that typically last for a day. Hybridizers experiment with new varieties such as spider, ruffled, doubles, and repeat bloomers, so don’t feel confined to just the popular Stella de Oro.
Blooms: Spring to late summer (plus some repeat blooming varieties)
Colors Varieties: Red, orange, yellow, purple, and pink

Washington’s state flower is a woody shrub that can grow up to 25 feet wide, offering a virtual buffet for hummingbirds. It prefers a sunny location and is fussy about temperature, not wanting to be either too hot or too cold (although some cooler weather is required for bud formation).
Known for their showy clusters of delicate bell-shaped flowers, rhododendrons also feature thick, leathery leaves that stay green late into the year.
Blooms: Spring to fall
Colors Varieties: Pink, purple, red, yellow, and white
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 3 to 9
24. Wisteria (
Wisteria species)Photo: istockphoto.com
This deciduous, wood-stemmed vine drips fragrant grape-like clusters of lavender flowers from arbors or trellises, creating a romantic garden aesthetic. After blooming, the long-lived, sometimes invasive, vine will require pruning, for it grows quickly and is aggressive and heavy. In the right conditions, wisterias can destroy porch railings and pergolas alike if not kept in line. Besides, blooms appear only on new growth, so late winter pruning helps produce more flowers for spring hummingbirds. All parts are toxic to pets and people.
Blooms: Spring
Colors Varieties: Purple, pink, and white
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 5 to 8

Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea)Photo: istockphoto.com
Nothing says summertime cottage garden like the tall, slender hollyhock. The self-seeding perennial or biennial can reach 8 to 9 feet tall, sprouting multi-petaled flowers that bloom from the bottom of the stalk up. They prefer full sun, can grow in a variety of soil types, and may require a little support—and protection from the wind—to stay upright. Pollinators prefer the single-flowering varieties.
Blooms: Summer
Colors Varieties: Lavender, white, pink, red, and yellow
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 2 to 10

26. Honeysuckle (
Lonicera species)Photo: istockphoto.com
Most of the 180 varieties of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and vines emit the sweetest fragrance. Hummingbirds especially like any native honeysuckle varieties.
They can grow in full sun to partial shade and are heat tolerant, but will need some kind of support for those bud-laden tendrils, in addition to rich, moist soil and occasional pruning. They’re considered invasive in some regions, but birds and insects flock to their two-lipped tubular flowers.
Blooms: Spring to fall
Colors Varieties: Red, yellow, pink, purple, and white
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 4 to 10, depending on variety
27. Morning Glory (
Ipomoea species)Photo: istockphoto.com
This North and Central American native vine is a fast grower that produces multitudes of slightly fragrant trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in the morning. Drought tolerant though they love moist, well-draining soil, morning glories can grow up to 10 feet, twining their slender tendrils boasting heart-shaped leaves and flowers around structures, fences, or anything available. This self-seeder will return—and spread.
Blooms: Summer to first frost
Colors Varieties: Purple, pink, blue, and white
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 2 to 11
