If you're looking to add a vibrant splash of color to your borders that will attract plenty of pollinators, then learning how to grow hummingbird trumpet plants is a great option to consider. Prized for producing masses of orange-red blooms, this plant is a magnet for hummingbirds who can easily access the nectar that is found deep within the flowers, all thanks to their long, thin beaks.
Native to the western United States, the hummingbird trumpet plant, Epilobium canum, is found growing in Oregon, New Mexico and California (it is also known by another name, the California fuchsia). Growing happily in warm regions, this plant is remarkably low-maintenance, thriving in sunny spots and dry soils.
