Cardinal Flower
Hummingbirds drink nectar from flowers. They prefer tubular flowers that are red, but will visit flowers of any color.

Here is a list of flowers found in garden nurseries that are highly attractive to hummingbirds. Try to choose early, mid, and late-blooming varieties. When possible, plant native species.
