Hummingbird Plants

Plants like the buddleja and cuphea bush play integral roles in fostering hummingbird ecosystems. The buddleja, or butterfly bush, not only attracts butterflies but also hummingbirds, thanks to its nectar-rich, brightly colored blooms that these birds prefer.

The cuphea bush, on the other hand, is favored by hummingbirds for its tube-shaped flowers, ideally shaped for their long bills, and filled with nutrient-rich nectar that serves as their primary food source. By providing both food and shelter, these plants create an environment conducive for hummingbirds, supporting their life cycle and enhancing biodiversity.
