LindaTX8 said:Red to attract hummers is a good idea. But check a list of hummingbird plants, too. All kinds of bloom colors will make them happy if it's the right plants! Or a feeder will often keep them around, if it's kept fresh and clean. And I remember someone years ago put up tall red streamers just to catch their interest while they are flying by.

Yes Linda the idea of incorporating red in the garden is just to catch the attention of passing hummers. Once once you get them there you need to have a good, continuous food source to keep them.
