Hummingbirds pollinate many of our native plants.  Flowers, vines, shrubs and trees that produce blossoms with tube or bell shapes are most appealing.  Below is a listing of plants that attract hummingbirds.  Not all plants work well or are native to your area.  Visit your local garden center or botanical garden to learn about the native plants that will work best in your locale.
