Experience the magic of watching a tiny, whirring hummingbird feed on flowers blooming close by! Plant a container for your patio or garden the hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators will love. Fill a 14″ container with 6 summer flowering plants that attract, and feed, pollinators. Bee balms, petunias, larkspurs, nicotianas, verbena, morning glories, salvias and many other long blooming, spilling, twining plants support our important pollinators. With proper care, your Hummingbird Garden will bloom all summer. All materials are supplied: plants, container, soil and a bamboo frame for climbing vines.
