The hummers DO love it - I just have other, more
manageable plants to offer them.


Such as?


Wow - where to start?
Dutch honeysuckle (Lonicera pericylmenum, non-invasive) and L.
sempervirens
Clematis orientalis
hardy fuchsias
Cape fuchsia - Phygelius
Ribes sanguineum and odoratum
Leycesteria formosa
Cotoneaster bullatus (tree form)
ornamental salvias
agastache
crocosmia
penstemon
daphnes

I've also seen them feed at weigela, abelia, escallonia and at sarcococca,
corylopsis, hellebores and heathers in winter.


I should of mentioned that I'm in zone seven just north of Philadelphia.
Thanks, I'll try some of them. By the way, begonias work too.
