Our newly-stocked Salvia hanging baskets – available in the greenhouse now!

We all enjoy seeing hummingbirds at feeders outside our windows, but cleaning and filling the feeders can be a chore. Here’s how to attract them without all that work.

Plant some of the hummers favorite flowering plants in hanging baskets and let them feast on the nectar from the blooms. Make sure to hang them where the plants get 4-5 hours of sun per day to keep them blooming well.
