If you want to attract humming birds, you need the color red and orange. They love flocks, butterfly weed, and butterfly bush.



Aside from the nectar filled flowers which you will grow, a good hummingbird garden must also consist of an entire habitat for the birds.

Make certain that there is always fresh water available for drinking as well as for bathing.

Create both sun and shade areas in your hummingbird garden. Hummingbirds need a place in shade to perch as well as to build their nests.

Willows and Eucalyptus trees provide nesting materials which your hummingbirds will use, along with bits of leaves, spider webs, moss, and lichens to build their tiny nests.



Hummingbirds must feed 3-5 times per hour and your hummingbirds may become reliant on your garden for it's food, but there may be periods when there are no blossoms from which they can get nectar. It is a good idea to provide hummingbird feeders hung about thirty feet apart throughout your garden for these times. The best color for a feeder is bright red to attract the birds from a distance. Never fill your feeders with anything but sugar-water mix of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Do not use food coloring of any kind, and never, never use honey. (Honey can develop a fungus which can be fatal to hummingbirds)

Keep your feeders clean and filled!
Reply:Depending on what sort of tree you are talking about it can be difficult for anything to grow close by. The root system on an establishing or established tree will take all the moisture from the ground. Keep the area moist around the tree it can end up like dust in the warm weather.



Fushia is nice, plenty of pink/red flowers when established, plant bulbs in the autumn like tulips/daffodils etc also. Be sure to keep the area moist around the tree it can end up like dust if the over hanging foliage covers the plants.
