Trumpet Vine

Hummingbirds appear in droves around this vine. The expansive size of it – 20 to 40 feet tall – allows it to cover quite a lot of area. The reddish-orange blooms are present from July to November. This plant is such a hit with hummingbirds that most people refer to this vining plant as a Hummingbird Vine.

I hope you find an assortment of flowers for your garden that brings in a large number of hummingbirds. They are so sweet! What types of hummingbirds frequent you flower garden?
