HUMMINGBIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES

Home gardeners can create environments to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. These graceful creatures can easily be lured to your garden, patio or balcony by a variety of plants. In addition to the Perennials and Shrubs listed below, there are many annuals, wildflowers and herbs that are also excellent food sources. For example, design an area hat combines wildflowers and attractors such as butterfly bush (Buddleia), bee balm (Monarda), sage (Salvia) and foxglove (Digitalis).

To make a butterfly feel at home, you also need some wind protection, since these insects prefer still air. Tall plants make good wind breakers. Because butterflies are cold-blooded, they seek warm air, so direct sun is desired. They also like dark rocks warmed by the sun for basking. A source of water is also important. It must be shallow with something they can rest on.

Hummingbirds are attracted to more than just red tubular flowers. They feed from many types of flowers and prefer a mixture of sun and shade. Different levels of vegetation and an abundance of flowers that bloom throughout the season will make them feel at home.
