I've got a place near my hummingbird feeder to put a hanging basket. I'm looking for a flowering plant that would help attract the hummers... and look and do well in a hanging basket. The spot only gets partial shade. Any suggestions? To hide these ads please register / sign in

What about the wave petunia? Perhaps that would work as I have attracted hummers that way. _________________ Tammy "My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts & dreams." Abram L. Urban "You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt." Unknown

There are lots of plants suggested on this website that you could choose from to attract the hummers to your garden Cheryl. http://www.thegardenhelper.com/hummingbird.html Do let us see a photograph when you've planted the hanging basket up won't you? _________________

Eileen... I'd been reading through that site. And there are lots of beautiful flowers... but most don't seem to lend themselves to a hanging basket (at least the perennials. I'll keep reading through it though! Thanks!
