I planted these 7 flowers in April and my backyard is already a hummingbird magnet

Anna's Hummingbird.

Spring has sprung and that means the birds, bees, and butterflies are returning to our yards. When I hear a loud buzzing though, my first thought is whether I need to reach for my guide on how to get rid of carpenter bees. But then, I wonder if it's actually a totally different story. Maybe the hummingbirds, one of my favorite feathered friends, have finally returned.

Each year, I'm hopeful that I can attract more of the lovely little birds to my yard. And while I adopt tips for attracting more hummingbirds annually, April itself presents the perfect time to plant some perennials, shrubs, and even vines to boost my chances of a hummingbird spot.
