Native Plants for Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are attracted to shrubs and plants that have bright tubular flowers. The following list of plants should help you get started, but experiment with your own selection of native plants as this list is not exhaustive. Other helpful books include: Trees, Shrubs and Flowers to Know in British Columbia and Washington by Lyons and Merilees; Trees and Shrubs of British Columbia by Brayshaw; and Plants of Coastal British Columbia: Including Washington, Oregon, and Alaska by Pojar, MacKinnon and Alaback. Legend: Exposure: S= Full Sun, P= Partially sunny, Sh=Shady; Moisture: D=Dry, M= Moist, W=Wet.
