Question : I have noticed hummingbirds coming into my yard. How do I keep them here and what flowers do they like?

Answer : Lucky are you to have the right location for hummingbirds to visit. Residents without a nearby hummingbird population are probably not going to get them to come into their yards even with their favorite plants. Best locations are areas with clusters of trees and shrubs plus a water supply. Then you can add the flowers they like that includes firebush, salvias, pentas, firespike, cardinal flower and coral honeysuckle. Grow an assortment of these and others that can provide the blooms visited March through September when hummingbirds take up residence locally. The same plants are favorites of butterflies which are much easier to invite into a yard to visit.
