The Hummingbird Hideaway collection is carefully curated to create a thriving habitat for hummingbirds by providing their preferred nectar-rich, tubular flowers in a variety of bright colors. This collection features three native perennial plants that offer a continuous supply of food and visual appeal throughout the bloom season.

What's Included:

• Bush Monkeyflower (Diplacus aurantiacus): A true hummingbird magnet, this plant's bright, tubular orange flowers are perfectly shaped for hummingbirds' beaks. It offers blooms from spring through summer, and even year-round in mild climates.
• Showy Penstemon (Penstemon spectabilis): With its beautiful lavender to purple tubular flowers, this is another excellent plant for attracting hummingbirds. It blooms from late spring to early summer and also attracts bees.
• Hummingbird Sage (Salvia spathacea): Living up to its name, this sage is a hummingbird favorite. Its magenta to rose-pink flowers bloom from winter into spring, providing a crucial early-season nectar source when other flowers may not be available.

Key Features:

• Hummingbird Habitat: Designed to serve as a "welcome mat" for hummingbirds with brightly colored, tubular flowers that supply abundant nectar.
• Seasonal Blooms: Provides continuous color and nectar from winter through summer, ensuring a steady food source for hummingbirds.
• Pollinator Support: Attracts hummingbirds as well as bees and other beneficial insects.
• Layered Design: The plants have complementary heights and a mix of flower colors, creating a visually appealing and layered look in your garden.
• Low Maintenance: These plants thrive with minimal care and require less water once established.
• Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in collections of nine, 18, or 27 plants to create a thriving hummingbird habitat.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, these plants require less water.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
