Choose nectar-rich flowers like bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine. Provide perches and water sources. Consider planting native species to attract hummingbirds.
Select a sunny location with some shade. Ensure good drainage and fertile soil. Plan for blooms throughout the season to keep hummingbirds visiting.
Prepare the soil by loosening it and adding compost. Dig holes for plants, spacing them appropriately. Water plants well after planting to help them establish.
Maintain your garden by deadheading flowers, weeding, and fertilizing as needed. Keep feeders clean and filled with fresh nectar. Monitor for pests and diseases.
Enjoy the beauty and activity of hummingbirds in your garden. Sit back and watch these tiny birds zip around, sipping nectar and bringing life to your outdoor space.
Share your hummingbird garden success with others. Encourage friends and neighbors to create their own hummingbird-friendly gardens to support these delightful creatures.
