{"title":"Annuals for Hummingbirds","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe welcome hummingbirds, those charming aerial acrobats, with a feast, inviting them to make themselves at home in our gardens. The Annuals we like to plant for summer-long color top the welcome wagon for hummingbirds, producing a steady supply of nectar throughout the season. While hummingbirds’ slender elongated bills and long tongues are well-designed for reaching nectar deep inside long tubular flowers, these birds are flexible foragers. If a flower provides ample high-quality nectar, they will find it. For protein, hummingbirds will readily scoop up aphids and mosquitos, vacuum small insects from flowers and even pluck a spider from its web!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHummingbirds are energetically territorial, so spread your annuals around to keep the peace. Plant Petunias in your front window boxes, Begonias and Fuchsias on a shaded porch, pots of Hibiscus by the pool, Calibrachoa containers on a backyard patio. Fill your beds with Snapdragons, Cleome, Scabiosa, single Dahlias and lots of Salvias and Zinnias throughout for a hummingbird feast.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/collections\/15551.jpg?v=1783723508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/collections\/annuals-for-hummingbirds.oembed","provider":"White Flower Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
