Would you like to establish a natural hummingbird habitat? Here are some great plants to include in your meadow, or garden:
1. Bee Balm (Monarda Didyma, Oswego Tea)
2. Trumpet Honeysuckle (Lonicera Sempervirens)
3. Columbine
4. Trumpet Creeper (Canpsis Radicans)
5. Spotted Jewelweed (Impatiens Carpensis)
Try to incorporate flowers that bloom at different times of the year in your garden, so your hummingbird friends will have a non-stop supply of food. Hummingbirds love long tubular flowers, of any color, but especially red. Also make sure you have several bushes, small trees, and shrubs to provide cover for hummers when they need a short rest, or for nesting.
