From The Family Handyman
Black & Blue Salvia
Hummingbirds love all of the salvias, but Black & Blue is a favorite in our yard. — Ginny Phillips
Olathe, Kansas
Trumpet honeysuckle is by far the most favored hummingbird plant in my yard. It blooms all season, produces fruit that other birds enjoy and is native to the United States. — Karen Dennis, Plymouth, Michigan
Almost every time I look at my red canna lilies, there is a hummingbird at them. — Liza Vaughn, Fairfax, Virginia
My king aloe plant blooms four or five times each summer, sending up grand 4-foot stalks covered in bell-shaped flowers. Hummers sit on the branches and feed. — Lorraine Smith, Lake Charles, Louisiana

Large Firecracker Plant
Every year I place a big pot of large firecracker plant (Cuphea ‘Vermillionaire’) on my deck. Hummingbirds are zipping about just inches from me all summer! — Janet Doherty,
Scarborough, Maine
