Coneflowers are perennials, easy to grow, and well-known for attracting many different kinds of pollinators into the garden like birds, bees, and butterflies. However, not everybody is lucky enough to attract hummers with these large, beautiful blooms, as some say they’ve never seen birds feed from them. Hummingbirds, with their long beaks, seem to prefer longer, more tubular-shaped flowers like the firecracker plant (Russelia equisetiformis) with its many little red blooms. You could also try hummingbird fuchsia (Fuchsia magellanica), which, as the name suggests, is very popular with our little friends.
