If there's one wildflower seed to scatter in your yard this spring for hummingbirds, it's royal catchfly (or Silene regia). With bright scarlet-red blooms that come out around mid-summer, it's the perfect native plant to provide these charming birds with a late-season source of nectar.
It's a low-effort way to attract hummingbirds to the yard, as this wildflower is perennial (returning reliably every year) and spreads via self-seeding. It's a beautiful addition to borders, with flower spikes typically reaching 3-4 feet in height, or you can scatter some royal catchfly seeds (like these from Amazon) in your wildflower patch.
