Creating Your Hummingbird Haven: Tips for Success

Hummingbirds have a very high metabolism and must eat all day long to survive, consuming over twice their body weight in nectar and tiny insects. Planting our collection will provide a fantastic start! You can further enhance your garden by:

• Providing Shelter & Perches: Mix annuals with perennials, shrubs, or small trees to give them places to rest, seek shade, and hide from predators.
• Offering Nesting Materials: Hummingbirds often use soft plant fibers, lichen, and even spider silk to build their tiny, intricate nests. A diverse garden provides these naturally.
• Minimizing Pesticide Use: Pesticides can harm hummingbirds directly or indirectly by poisoning the insects they rely on for protein. A natural, biologically friendly garden is the safest.
• Considering a Water Source: A shallow dish with fresh water, perhaps with a mister or dripper, can be a welcome addition.

Gardening to attract hummingbirds is easier than you might think. With the right plants providing food and a little thought towards shelter and water, your garden can become a favorite stop.

The Magic & Meaning of Hummingbirds (A Little Lore)

Beyond their dazzling flight, hummingbirds carry rich symbolism across cultures. Many see them as messengers of joy, luck, and resilience. One Northwest Coast legend tells of Raven transforming a flower into a hummingbird, tasked with whispering thanks to all blossoms for their beauty. Another speaks of the giantess Dzunuk’wa, guardian of the mountains, who so loved Hummingbird she let it nest in her hair as living jewelry. Even the Aztecs revered Huitzilopochtli, their most powerful god of sun and war, whose name meant "Hummingbird of the South," believing worthy warriors were reincarnated as these fierce, energetic marvels.
