Hummingbirds drink nectar out of deep-throated flowers primarily. So, think about planting shrubs and perennials with lots of trumpet-like flowers to attract them. Also, try to stagger bloom time to have food for them available as much of the year as possible. If you provide for their needs, they will come- and stay!
