Elevate your outdoor space into a thriving sanctuary with the Hummingbird Highrise collection. This curated selection of native perennials is designed to create a lively, vertical habitat right outside your door, featuring the brightly colored, tubular flowers that hummingbirds depend on for nourishment. Whether you have a sunny balcony, a patio with large planters, or a small garden bed, these plants provide high-energy nectar and essential shelter throughout the growing season.

These resilient species thrive in full sun to partial shade and are particularly well-suited for container gardening or small-space landscapes where visibility and pollinator activity are a priority. In addition to supporting hummingbirds, this collection fosters local biodiversity by attracting butterflies, native bees, and beneficial insects.

What’s Included:

• Scarlet Sage (Salvia coccinea): A showy, red-blooming perennial that serves as a premier hummingbird favorite, thriving in various light conditions from full sun to part shade.
• Pink Beardtongue (Penstemon australis): Featuring soft pink, tubular flowers, this spring bloomer offers critical early-season nectar and graceful vertical structure.
• Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis): A late-summer standout with vibrant scarlet blooms that attract hummingbirds from afar; it thrives in moist garden spots or well-watered containers.

Key Features:

• Targeted Nutrition: Offers brightly colored, tubular blooms specifically adapted for hummingbird pollination and high-energy feeding.
• Multi-Season Support: Provides a reliable nectar source and habitat across three seasons, returning year after year with minimal care.
• Biodiversity Powerhouse: Supports a wide array of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, moths, and bees.
• Resilient & Sustainable: These native plants require less water once established, never need chemical fertilizers, and are naturally deer resistant.
• 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 fit any porch, patio, or garden size.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade. For the best blooms on your Scarlet Sage and Cardinal Flower, a spot with ample sunlight is ideal. These plants prefer well-drained soil. Note that the Cardinal Flower in this collection is a moisture-loving plant and thrives in moist conditions.
2. Watering: Water your plants regularly during the first growing season to help establish deep, healthy roots. Once established, many of these native species require less water and can tolerate occasional dry spells.
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.
