I would like to encourage hummingbirds to visit my Colorado garden. What should I plant to attract them?
Last Updated: July 27, 2010
The tubular flowers of hyssop (Agastache) will attract hummingbirds. Sunset hyssop (A. rupestris), CORONADO hyssop (A. aurantiaca), Double bubble mint (A. cana) and Giant hummingbird mint (A. barberi) are some of the best for our region. These plants thrive in Colorado's native soils and dry climate. Their aromatic foliage and abundant flowers add a great deal of interest to sunny landscapes.
For more information, please see the PlantTalk script "Hyssop" and Butterfly and Hummingbird Gardening Using Annuals.
