It is very easy to attract hummingbirds to your garden, window box or flower pots!
The most significant thing that you can do to attract hummingbirds is to plant flowering annuals, perennials, vines, shrubs and trees.
Hummingbirds are attracted to BRIGHT colors like red, yellow and orange tubular shaped flowers; other flower shapes and colors should not be overlooked. Plant your flowers in small clusters, plant vines on a trellis at the back of your garden with tall growing flowers in front of it and put shorter plants in the very front of your garden bed. A variety of flowers and blooming times of flowers will provide a well-rounded diet for hummingbirds as they reside in South Carolina.
Another major source of food for hummingbirds is small insects and spiders that are attracted to flowers as well. Hummingbirds appear in South Carolina from late March to early April and stay until September, early October and sometimes they even hang around into December.
