Include a variety of nectar-rich flowers in your garden, such as bee balm, salvia, fuchsia, and trumpet vine, to attract hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds are attracted to bright colors like red, orange, and pink, so plant flowers in these hues to catch their attention.
Hang hummingbird feeders filled with a nectar solution (4 parts water to 1 part sugar, no food coloring) in your garden. Clean and refill them regularly to keep the birds coming back.
Install a small fountain, birdbath, or shallow water feature in your garden. Hummingbirds are attracted to the sound of running water and enjoy bathing.
Hummingbirds like to rest and survey their surroundings from high perches. Plant trees and shrubs with branches for them to perch on.
Use natural or organic methods to control pests in your garden. Pesticides can harm hummingbirds and other beneficial insects.
Hang a small basket filled with soft materials like cotton, moss, and pet fur for hummingbirds to use as nesting material.
Hang shiny objects like old CDs or metallic tape near your feeders to catch the sunlight and attract hummingbirds' attention.
Keep your garden clean and free of debris. Hummingbirds prefer tidy, well-maintained gardens.
