10 FALL PERENNIALS for HUMMINGBIRDS - Ep. 275

[@KokoraLife]

This is such a great video -- thanks for compiling these plants for humming birds!

[@cavumine]

All of the thing you've mentioned here are hummer favorites in my garden (zone 7b)- but I have other things, too: roses, pentas, and canna lilies - all blooming right now. Of course, I encourage re-blooming by cutting them back hard at the end of July. Here in Virginia, lots of the lovely flowering perennials get super-shaggy or mildewy in the late summer humidity. That's when I let the grasses take center-stage

[@marthamiriam8983]

I am in Maryland and my butterfly push is still blooming and here we are in mid September, Hummingbirds love it!

[@vlong7112]

Lovely video 🥰 And fit! It's giving Blossom vibes 🫰🏽💚🌸

[@carolsantos7137]

You are absolutely correct, leaving feeders out will not stop them from migrating, they are smart and know what to do. I have a Hummingbird swing I’ve had for years, my hummers use it everyday! Thank for such wonderful videos, I look forward to them every morning, I get so excited when there is one there, it’s a wonderful way to start my day, a cup of coffee and your video!💝

Amazing video

[@kingjames6264]

Hi Summer! I absolutely love your educational videos related to gardening. 🌻🌺 I live in coastal Humboldt County, California and I have found that hummingbirds love fuchsias ( I have 7 different species), penstemon, and verbena (the same species that you show cased in your video). Keep on growing and sharing your knowledge! So great.🌺🌻🌸🪻

I have told a friend in Tennessee,about this video. He also has a channel. (John Rays Birds) He has feeders and has planted some flowers for his Hummingbird tourists. They and other birds are his main guests. I hope that some of those flowers will like it in his State. The swing is perfect.❤

I tuck nasturtiums in everywhere and they readily reseed. Hummingbirds and bees love them. They also love zinnias, tithonia, and tomato blooms. I have some wild and rangy cherry tomato plants that are visited often. I know these are annuals but I thought they were worth mentioning.

Ty !

[@beatriceanderson9745]

I live in Maryland. ( I met you at Homestead Gardens this year when you hosted your program. I said I feel like you are my twin spirit! I love all your videos and your gardens! My hummingbirds left this week but like you suggested, I am leaving my feeders with fresh sugar water just in case we have some come through from up north.😊❤

[@laurahiggins4712]

The gardens are beautiful! Yes, keep feeding the hummers, they know when to migrate. We still have Vermillionaire, salvias, zinnias, turtlehead (Chelone), petunias, lantana, superbenas, fuchsias, impatiens and geraniums blooming. Other favorites during the summer are bee balm (monarda), crocosmia, foxglove, columbine, snapdragons, liatris and penstemon. Early spring - Red flowering currant and catmint/nepeta. Winter - Witch-hazel (shrub) as it blooms in the winter for the Anna's hummers that stay with us all year long. The Rufous arrive in March for the summer. Zone 8b in western WA Ouch, your sunburn looks painful. Sunscreen! Elta MD works good to prevent skin damage.

Summer, I absolutely love your content, and this video is just a present to me❤️ I love hummers. I saw the first one (in my entire life) this year (I’m a fairly new gardener, my garden is small, but I already got lobelia cardinalis and rosy posy agastaches but the winner is the cardinal flower, they go crazy😍 Unfortunately, where I live, I can’t find many of these options you showed in this video, but I will try to find them to add in my garden❤️

[@Alwaysherethere]

I just love all the tours!❤

[@jcbcreative5898]

In September, there’s a lot of wild jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) blooming around the streams by our cabin in western North Carolina (6b-7a), and it's always buzzing with hummingbirds. I've never seen so many together as when the jewelweed is in bloom!

[@pamelapearce8702]

Here in Oregon we put out feeders especially in the winter when it helps supplement their diet

[@marshaharwood8883]

I have a Baja fairy duster that they absolutely adore. It does have to come in for the winter but it is loaded with blooms all summer long.

[@sunitashastry5270]

Beautiful flowers and informative video. Thank you.

[@stephengary1217]

Black and blue salvia is a big hummingbird attractor in my Maryland garden in September.

[@caroltrego1640]

Cuphea 'Vermillionaire' is an annual, but a hummingbird magnet. Also, Cuphea 'David Verity'. Blooms all summer until frost.

[@LeanneD4]

Here in Georgia, our native coral honeysuckle is still in bloom, and the hummingbirds love it. Also, Salvia coccinea and S. guaranitica are late season favorites here.

[@sandragoerlich7134]

❤❤❤!!!

[@deepost2604]

Cleome self seeds abundantly in my garden. After ten years of pink ones, a white bloomer showed up. I’m saving the seeds on this plant and I’ll see what shows up next summer.

[@Alwaysherethere]

I have these too but they look so different!

[@gardenfunwithpaulie]

LOVE this episode 🌸🌷🙏

[@salvadorrios9647]

Salvia leucantha / Mexican Bush Sage is a popular fall blooming sage that both Hummingbirds and Monarchs love

[@salvadorrios9647]

This plant is widely used in central and south Texas

[@charlesbale8376]

Enjoyed the video.

[@nancysueleske7819]

I am in southern IL and have some of the plants you highlighted. I allow an annual to self sow mostly for hummers. Salvia Coccinea. The adults leave about October 1st. I dead head the annual to keep it producing fresh flowers. They adore it!

[@cindijones1734]

Annual Salvia coccinea "Summer Jewel" red, shrubby Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (Littleaf Sage) and hybrid Salvia cultivar "Wendy's Wish" are all hummingbird magnets in my zone 5a upstate NY garden.

[@thomasmarley3646]

Suggestion/request - Moon Garden or Rock Garden 👀

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Two additional late season natives that we have here in SW Ohio are the native field thistle and Impatiens capensis, though both are nearly done blooming. Of course they like zinnia and lavender as well.

[@bobclark98122]

I'd also include bee balm...and in my shade garden, they actually go for the fuchsias and pelargoniums.

[@yfrontsguy]

We don't have hummingbirds sadly in Europe. I wish we did! How about growing some Fuchsia magellanica as this is a cold hardy hummingbird favourite. Anything red and tubular is adapted for them.

[@pamelapearce8702]

Here in zone 8b all the salvias of course and lobelia tupa

[@Thulaarani]

Love your videos. I live in Canada zone 5/6. We have Magenta chiffon Rose of Sharon that the hummingbirds love. I think they are the ruby throated humming birds.

[@thepipingbagbakery4399]

Black and a blue salvia is another

[@user-ey9bt7fs6n]

I thought I saw a beautiful color green on the barn.

[@katieking9589]

Thank you for all the ideas! Can you share where those pants are from? I love them

[@suehoyt-oneill9501]

I grow jewel weed in my yard and they have orange flowers that are late summer interest to hummingbirds and humbles.

[@NickBoileau]

it's GAURA. honest mistake

[@jeanneeguizabal471]

💚💚💚💚

[@onetwocue]

Im in iowa. I dont have any late blooming perrenials but i have red salvias that reseed themselves year after year and the hummers go crazy for it

[@thedjisin]

I don't have much space but I always wanted to get a vining plant that would be good for any pollinator that could wrap around the base (~4ft)) of a weathervane decoration in our small yard. Are there any that would be good in a container that could latch on? I'm just north of the Bronx.

[@adullig]

If you want a full sun annual vine for a pot, ‘cardinal climber’ vine could work. Perennial vines all get pretty large so you would need to maintain them. I grow native honeysuckle on a fence in 6b Boston, one yellow and one red, and the hummers love both. They have a big flush of blooms in early summer, and then bloom slowly but steadily until frost. Trumpet vine is a native hummingbird favorite, but extremely large and aggressive.
