Beautiful Plants That'll Bring Hummingbirds & Butterflies To Your Yard
By RON BAKER
Salvia
This flower is naturally rabbit and deer-resistant, and it comes in numerous colors from red and orange to purple and blue — perfect for attracting a variety of pollinators.
Columbine
Columbines are easy to grow, and they’re also deer and rabbit-resistant. Due to their aggressive self-seeding, they have a variety of colors that return year after year.
Honeysuckle
This plant’s colorful, tubular flowers draw in hummingbirds and butterflies alike. Opt for Japanese honeysuckle’s coral hues, or go for the non-invasive trumpet variety.
Trumpet Vine
Pollinators adore this
easy-to-grow vine. Although it takes three to five years to form its first blooms, it provides an explosion of color every year after that.
Lantana
Lantana blooms nonstop — even in cool weather — to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Since it’s invasive in some areas, be sure to plant certified sterile varieties.
