If you love hummingbirds like I do then you will want to do what you can to attract them to your yard.

I just love to see them fly and dart and just hang in mid-air and they are so beautiful.  What a gift from nature.

There are many varieties of plants that can be used to attract hummingbirds when building your hummingbird garden.

Once the garden has been built and the birds start coming you can hang some feeders up nearby. They are very inquisitive birds and like to check out any new food source.

By being selective when choosing your hummingbird plants you can have flowers blooming during  the whole season. The diversity of plants range from annuals, perennials, vines, shrubs, trees, hanging plants and bedding plants. 

When choosing your plants it is a good idea to use different varieties in form and size.
