What are some plants I can use to attract hummingbirds to my garden?

Some of the best perennials and biennials to attract hummingbirds include hollyhock, columbine, delphinium, foxglove, daylily, coral bells, hosta, blazing star, bee balm, and garden phlox. Some good annuals include flowering tobacco, scarlet runner bean, salvia, and even single petunia. Whether annual or perennial, avoid the double flowers as they are difficult for hummingbirds and insects alike to pollinate. Choose a selection to provide color through the season, a succession of flowering times. For more on how to choose flowers, and other important aspects for hummingbird habitats, see the leaflet on this topic. (http://pss.uvm.edu/ppp/pubs/oh76hum.  more
