In this video we discuss the most effective spring blooming plants that will attract hummingbirds to your garden.
I will provide other value tips and suggestions to help you lure in hummingbirds and other pollinators to your yard for the entire gardening season.
I present the perennial flowers, bushes,woody vines and a few tree species that are known to regularly attract hummingbirds and other pollinators from about April to June.
These strategies are geared towards attracting the Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds, which are the breeding species of hummingbirds of the eastern half of the United States and Canada.

Another Awesome Video! Boy, my yard is full of hummers, butterflies, bees, doves, roadrunners, and lizards. I always plant what you suggest. Thank you Stephan! Were hitting triple digits out her in Rancho Mirage Ca. I've got swarms of bees on my blooming smoke trees. A beautiful blue flower attracts them, my lantana, Mexiacan sage, yellow trumpets, crown of thorns, agastacha, petunias, milkweed, cactus, and brittle Bush are attracting my hummers, and I've got the Yellow Sulpher Butterflies here too. My roadrunners are loving life with all the lizards. Great info Stephan, and I always look forward to your Amazing, Informative, Cool videos! Be Well my friend.😊👍🐝🦋🌺🕊

Most of the plants mentioned in the video can be found in the big box stores and are usually cheaper because they are at the big box stores. However I have found that the nurseries which offer a plant guarantee to have the plant survive for up to 1 year , are really useful. Often times this even includes, owners neglect. Yes, if your plant dies because you forgot to water it or you put it in the wrong growing location, the nursery will still stand behind their guarantee. But find out from your local nursery first.

Impatiens , like flowering drought tolerant oleanders & all cherry plum trees, die in my area due to recent new diseases- had thousands of impatiens & oleander blooms in my garden for decades. Now hardy salvias are the only plants that can withstand freezing winter’s & heatwave months in the CA valleys. Costly butterfly bushes I bought from big nursery was infected with powdery mildew. I miss my 22 yr old butterfly shrub I planted when I 1 st bought my home that died from age- it grew tall & wide with minimal care & was so healthy. Coral bells & bleeding hearts were attacked by ants, so hummers got nil nectar. Grown almost every plant in your list but weather changes & diseases limits choices unless one replaces yrly.

Climate change & consequences are real. Best drought tolerant flowering shrubs & trees are succumbing to diseases. Iconic thousand yr old natives in Europe died too despite govt aide. Huntington Library has limitless budget- 1 of few arboretums with vast resources. After their renowned eucalyptus tree “Queen” died, they tried to grow native CA redwoods but failed. Worse, weaponized Aedes males mosquitoes infesting both Americas suck all the nectar from ALL flowers. Hummers cannot compete against millions of nectar sucking mosquitoes that feed on them too, while hummers sleep. It’s all bad globally. Here, I’m one of few left that fights for my mature flowering trees & shrubs from my recent concrete loving nature hating neighbors who top off trees on other’s land. My whole valley changed from green to concrete in 7 yrs. Small Lawns do not count as habitats, esp when pesticides are used for weeds. SCE removed 50 mature trees last Yr for no valid reason, & topped 60% last remaining flowering city trees for no valid reason other than to kill them. Smog now hovers 24/7 with poor air quality alerts to remain indoors with A/C. Suburban wildlife is so easy to maintain , & aide next gen pollinators, esp Hummers & butterflies. I made an easy effective DIY aedes mosquito trap 5 yrs ago cuz native mosquitoes are food for birds. Hopefully all ppl will make small changes needed so their kids can enjoy a fraction of what this planet was 50 yrs ago. I wish u well in your garden- hummers & pollinators need ppl like u.

Hi Sonia and thank you ! . I’ve never tried any solutions on my Honeysuckle. One thing you can try is to train it so there’s space between the branches. They seem to do best where they receive good air flow. It should also cut down on the mildew. I haven’t had much mildew problems on mine, but I have had to battle aphids with a blast from the garden hose. I hope that helps . 🌱

I also found a recipe from Cornell University for powdery mildew, 1 tbsp baking soda, 1 tbsp horticultural oil, and 1 tbsp insecticidal soap in one gal of water that can be sprayed when the plant is dormant. Hopefully, the combo of thinning and a preventative spray will keep it looking good. I've made a list of some of your other suggestions for attracting hummers that I can't wait to try in my garden.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Stephen! Your videos on attracting Humming birds are just superb. Cant tell you how much I am enjoying them. I want to order the dark red honeysuckle but I cannot find 'Alabama Scarlet' anywhere. 'Major Wheeler' , which "looks" similar is available. MW also blooms early and all season long. But I dont know how early it starts blooming and how the color differs between MW and AS. Do you think MW will work? The nursery websites do say it is a Hummingbird magnet but does not say how early it starts blooming. Do you think MW will work? Or should I wait till I can find AS? I want something that starts as early as possible to attract these birds! Also in your experience are Hummingbirds attracted to yellow?

Hi! I found that Wilson Brothers has both these honeysuckles. I asked what are the differences between the two. Here is what they replied: "The main difference between these are looks a bloom times. The Major Wheeler is a bit darker/brighter Red and will flower all season long, depending on the area it can bloom from late winter to late winter or early spring to late winter. The Alabama only blooms from mid spring to mid summer and sometimes sporadically after that, it is not as consistent and the color red is a bit softer toned".

@@stephenbahrmarbles I tell you again I am so grateful I found your channel! I just got my Major Wheeler. This is the only plant I know that blooms early enough for the first Hummingbirds. I would not have know of it if it were not for you. Are there other flowers that bloom this early and may even be a blazing beacon like this one? I will certainly grow the fire cracker vine and maybe scarlet runner bean. But those bloom later. {Tithonia worked amazingly well for me but it starts blooming so much later in the season.)

Hi Marjorie,I don’t think anything is 100% fully certified deer proof . However, we plant Agastache , lavender , several of the salvias , bee balm and even Canna at the local nature preserve and they are all super resistant to deer. There are large populations of hungry deer there and they really leave those plants alone. I’m not sure about vines , except for Campsis , but I wouldn’t suggest planting that in your front yard. I hope that helps !

Hummingbirds are supposed to favor red/orange flowers, but I planted a Black and Blue salvia at the end of my front step and the hummingbirds swarm it.

Yes the Ruby throats pass through in the late Fall and early Spring. There are western hummingbird species that are known to stay throughout the Winter.

Hi Geri ! The bushes in the last clip are all azaleas , you can get seeds from them online in some catalogs but I’ve never tried. I don’t think they would do well in your tropical zone but it will depend on the exact variety. They are usually temperate cool weather plants. You’ll have to do some research as to what will work in Barbados.

Hi Leroy , the hummingbirds evolved along side of them so they know how to interact without all out warfare. They Yellow Jackets, on the other hand can become pests. You can always use feeders with bee guards to help out the hummers.

Always use native plants, never cultivars and never nativars. Encourage native trumpet vine, coral honeysuckle and others natives only. Also encourage good rainwater sources and education on the importance of spiders for raising hummingbird nestlings.
