We love hummingbirds! Our Salvia gardens are literally swarmed with these flying jewels much of the year, and there are always a few in our greenhouses as well. So the plants we have chosen to list here are those that we have, from years of personal experience, found to be the most attractive to hummers.
You will find a great range of species and varieties here, but all are preferential nectar sources here, and from what our friends and customers tell us, wherever they are grown.
We have found that hummingbirds will feed from almost all Salvias, with preference to those from the Western Hemisphere. So just because a Sage is not on this list does not necessarily mean that it will not attract and feed hummers.
