shrub-like plant. You can also observe

decorative green seed pods. Drought tolerant,

Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are drawn to red, pink, and orange salvia, lilies, trumpet vine, and
monarda (bee balm). Although trumpet-shaped flowers
are famous for attracting hummingbirds, I have found
the diminutive blossoms of coral bells receive
more hummer attention than any flower
in the garden except columbines.
