If you enjoy watching Hummers, the perennial Crocosmia Lucifer is a "must have" in your Hummingbird garden. The spikes of flame red trumpet shaped flowers bloom for 3 or 4 weeks in mid-summer. They love full sun and are easy to grow in zones 5 thru 9. In the colder climates, mulch them heavily after the ground has frozen or just dig them up and replant them in the spring.
As the flowers begin to open, I guarantee the aerial acrobats will be lined up to feed!
