Plant This Flower To Lure Hummingbirds To Your Garden
By EMILY MENDEZ
The Calibrachoa plant is an ideal choice if you're looking to attract hummingbirds to your garden, thanks to its tiny, nectar-rich flowers that bloom profusely from spring to fall.
This fast-growing, low-maintenance plant blossoms with flowers that resemble petunias, showcasing an array of striking colors like hot pink, purple glow, and color burst chocolate.
For the best viewing experience, plant Calibrachoa in a hanging basket or container outside your window, where you can easily watch the hummingbirds visit.
It thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires moist, well-drained soil. This heat- and drought-resistant plant can be grown as an annual in all USDA hardiness zones.
Regular application of a slow-release fertilizer and occasional trimming toward the end of summer ensures abundant growth, continuously drawing hummingbirds to your yard.
