Native spring flowers to attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees

Hummingbird feeding on the nectar of a firecracker plant.

Spotting wildlife in the backyard is a welcome sight in spring. As birds, butterflies and bees return to our garden borders, we are reminded that the colder months are behind us and the long growing season is to come. 

By filling our yards with native spring flowers to attract hummingbirds and pollinators, gardeners will be able to enjoy the welcome sight of wildlife buzzing and feeding during the spring and summer months ahead. So, if you are assessing your spring garden checklist, or considering spring garden ideas, planting native trees, shrubs and perennials is recommended, and, for your efforts, you can enjoy a wildlife show in your backyard.
