| Why aren't my flowers attracting any humming birds here in Southeast North Carolina, Bunswick County? In addition, I have three humming bird feeders up. Jim Horn |
| Hummingbirds migrate and will arrive when the weather suits them. They may not have gotten back up to your region yet this spring. Perennial plants I have found to attract hummingbirds are Trumpet Vine (Campsis x tagliabuana, I grow 'Madame Galen'), Butterfly Bush (Buddleia davidii), Honeysuckle (Lonicera, many varieties), and, I see them sticking their little beaks in my hanging baskets filled with Fuchsias. They seem to be attracted to bright, vibrant colors, especially red. Sweet fragranced flowers are also a draw. Try adding some new flowers to your garden to make it irresistable to them. |
