Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are a favorite in every garden. People go through great measures to attract these colorful aerial acrobats. Hummingbirds need more than a sugary feeder to keep them going and to raise their young, they need insects too. This garden supplies plenty of season-long sugary nectar while attracting the beneficial insects so important to a well-rounded diet.

How To Use Our Garden Design Guidelines:

Each one of our Native Garden Design Guidelines is designed for 100 square foot area. Feel free to multiply the number of plants as many times as needed to fill your space. The suggested placement and number of plants for each area appear as circles on the design. While the color and structure of each plant appear as a silhouette on the side view of the garden. These gardens can be combined as well to help achieve your garden goals. For example; the pollinator powerhouse garden and the hummingbird garden can be combined to create a display of bright blooms and equally colorful visitors.
