This limited-edition collection includes six native perennial plants that are especially beneficial to hummingbirds:

  • Cardinal Flower (2)
  • Eastern Columbine (2)
  • Wild Bergamot, Bee Balm (2)

Grown sustainably just for your area, these part-shade plants:

  • Offer brightly colored tubular flowers that attract and provide nectar for hummingbirds
  • Support other key wildlife species, including butterflies, moths, and bees
  • Bloom across three seasons and return each year
  • Never need chemicals and require less water once established

 

The Hummingbird Heroes plant collection was curated for its ability to supply essential food to hummingbirds for three seasons.
