Pollinators should always be a key consideration of any planting scheme, and for many gardeners across North America, hummingbirds are their favorite garden visitor. These remarkable (and hungry) miniature birds need a large amount of nectar during spring and summer, and can visit anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 flowers per day. Quite a feat, by any standard.
Fortunately for us, there are hundreds of climbing plants that can provide a valuable food source for wildlife. From the yellow-flowering clock vine to the wild pink blooms of the Mexican coral vine, there are many beautiful and easy-to-grow options that insects and birds will love.
