The hummingbirds love my Yucca flowers 🏜️
Thank you Jenny❤ We are lucky here in Southern West Oregon. The Anna's hummingbirds live here year round. It is amazing to see them out at our feeders in the winter when it is snowing and well below freezing. They are also one of the varieties that sing. We bring all our feeders in at night, usually 7 or 8 of them so they do not freeze and put them back out right before first light. I fed 25 of them all winter. Was filling feeders alot but well worth it.!!!
We have the Anna's hummingbirds all year round, too, in western Washington. I finally bought a hummer heater so I can leave one feeder out when the temps get too low. The nectar gets slushy at 27F. Wow, you're lucky to have 25 all winter. We only have 4-5 in the winter. The first male Rufous returned on March 18th this year. I love when they are buzzing all around us!
I bought a Sugar Shaker Nectar maker I saw in Birds and Blooms magazine a few years ago.. Big game changer in making Hummy food. Can make alot in a very short time.
Thanks for the plant list to attract hummingbirds!
Any time!
Love the German Shepard ears in the background. That’s how I garden too
I've never had a plant attract all pollinators like my Salvia. It's an amazing thing to see!❤
The hummingbirds are going to enjoy the beautiful containers of flowers.
We are lucky here in Vancouver Canada , we have a variety of hummer that stays all winter.
Charlotte here. I guess it's time to clean the feeders and refill!
Great plants for the hummingbirds. Going to look terrific. Brenna is your personal protector. Just like the secret service. I love that.
Very true!
Hummers Soo cute ha!!!
Congratulations on 80k subs!!! Enjoyed the video this morning and thanks for including the hummingbird clip; this was the 1st video I ever watched of Creekside and it felt good to see it mentioned. I'm getting ready for my winged friends as well, keep the videos coming!!
Awesome! Thank you!
My hummingbirds haven’t returned yet but so looking forward to seeing them again. They devoured my Lantana, Cuphea, Calibrachoa, Veronicas, Heuchera, Daylilys and Salvia last year. Am planning on doing the Cuphea and Lemon Coral Sedum combo you posted previously because those colors just pop. Thanks for sharing Jenny!
Here in zone 8 western Washington state, I have several year-round hummingbird residents. They also like agastache and fuchsias.
Stopping in to visit you tomorrow! We're driving now from Pennsylvania to visit family in the Lake Norman area. Can't wait to see your beautiful nursery!!!
Loved the video. Especially the dog's ears barely showing over the wall. So cute.
She loves being by my side!
I live in Ocala Florida and we have our first ever hummingbird!!
Isn't it a wonderful sight?!
Of all RUclips garden channels I follow, YOU are the one I trust the most to provide useful information. And presented in a delightful way.
Wow, thank you!
Jenny, Ask Jerry to do a video on how he gets such a beautiful grassy lawn. I am so jealous of your lawn. Love the hummingbird planters.💖
I second that! I would love to just walk barefoot in their grass, it looks so lush!
Meanwhile, I am thinking how it does not add to her garden's biodiversity and, if chemicals (fertilizers & pesticides), it is actually harming the environment.
Thanks Jenny, love hummingbirds!
Thank you so much for the list of plant. I love attracting the hummers to my yard too.
That vermillionaire grows SO huge, you wouldn't even need 2 of those. It's going to look so great to your hummers!!
I can’t wait for the Hummies! Those are going to look amazing!
I needed this. Thanks Jenny! On the way to 100k!
Good job Jenny! Excellent video! Inspirational.
Beautiful birds and what a wonderful combination for them 🍃🌸🍃
Great video. I have a trip of pots and I have been inspired
Thanks for sharing your experience ❤
Hummers like the Bat face plants- another Cuphea plant. I love it!!!
Hummers love Mexican Sunflowers
haha THAT video was my first video I ever saw of you when I was searching for hummer plants. So funny! Been a fan and learner since!
Jenny those pots will be beautiful. I 'm going to copy your idea and love Jerry's gorgeous lawn behind you. !! In sw P and waiting for my sweet little hummers to return !! Have a great day .
Excellent video Jenny! I did your mix of lemon sedum and the vermillion orange plant from PW last summer and we enjoyed beautiful shows from the hummingbirds on our deck! I’ll do the same this season! Thank you for the extra info to attract them! 🧡💜
Beautiful containers Jenny. I love in South Florida Zone 10b and we are also visited by the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. I saw our first one feasting on my Unplugged Pink Salvia in early March. :) So sweet!
Love this! Love hummingbirds!
Just checked the migration map and they are reported in Kentucky and southern Indiana. I cannot wait until our little buddies come buzzing past our head! I have been making every effort to plant up hummer friendly plants in the garden and last year we had three regulars. So excited for this season and hope to attract more to the property. 😊
NW Ohio zone 6-b
Great to know as I’m in NE Ohio! Thanks! 😊
Love my Hummers, should be here soon, lower Michigan. Can't wait. Love setting and watching them. Thank you 🐦🐝🦋
I use Nutricote 13-11-11 8-9 month (has secondary, and trace elements in addition to NPK) and still every other month in Mid May- Sept give them a water soluble feed - usually what I feed my orchids. Many of these annuals really need the food. I use about 1/2 strength of the water soluble. Also very important, be consistent with watering.
Thank you Jenny! We usually see our first hummingbirds around Mother's Day (Minnesota 4b)
I just saw some of your stuff at Green Acre’s, love it!
Great info Jenny. We have a Desert Willow tree that our hummers love (small pink flowers in summer) as well. My favorite is definitely the vermillionaire plant!
Brenna's ears!!!! Too cute!!!
Thank you for the graphics they were super helpful
Hello. I’m new to your channel but I love the information you have shared. I was outside planting some seeds and saw our first hummingbird for the year here in Tennessee about 2 weeks ago. I didn’t have my feeders ready wasn’t expecting them so early. But excited that they are here already.
Thanks so much, Jenny and team. Much appreciation! Blessings for a wonderful Easter.❤
Same to you!
And good prices too!
Thanks Jenny. Love the combo ideas and definitely going to try them. I love the hummers. Also I remember that first video you made - it was great too 🥰
Yay! Thank you!
Love the hummingbirds Good morning Jenny thanks for sharing with us
Good morning!
My male hummers arrived 4/3 at 5:30p.m. SAME DAY as 2022 at 5:10p.m. though! I had 30 the past few summers. Hubs and I sit and each take count. LOL I expect the females next week. (Forsyth County NC.)
Yes!!! My hummers loved the firecracker plant. I placed them at my kitchen window flower box and got to watch them every single day as I cooked or was washing dishes. I will buy it every year from now on. A must have if you love hummers. ❤
Thanks Jenny!
Love the plants, pots and your design.
Thanks so much 😊
I love hummingbirds.. I have had my feeders full for two weeks … I went and bought plants too … thank you for your videos ❤️ I live in Asheboro NC .. ..
The petunia I have been looking for is Bordeaux!! Those things made a nice clump of foliage over the winter in central NC and caught a bunch of little gnats and flies on their foliage and then came back even bigger and better the next year! The foliage and blooms just shimmer in the sunlight. 😎
Thank you for sharing the amazing video it's beautiful you and your family have a blessed weekend and a very happy Easter weekend
Thank you! You too!
Great plants. My hummingbirds love my mimi vistas hanging plants. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You are so welcome!
Beautiful
Thank you Jenny for the information and the list of plants.
You are so welcome!
Yes, our male hummer arrived on March 24th and the female arrived 6 days later. I have five hummer feeders full and lots of flowers for them. I'm in Georgia.
I debated putting the slow release fertilizer in with my PW potting soil- didn’t do it, but will go back and work it in! Thanks for the great videos and information.
Good morning Jenny. I just saw my fort hummer this morning gulf coast Texas
Thank you Jenny.🌷💚🙃
Thank you! Great information!
Thank you for sharing this information with us.😊
My pleasure 😊
Great information Jenny. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I LOVE your southern sus ❤
I love the hummingbirds! I have them year round. It's important to grow some native species that support wildlife.
I must be lucky here in the PNW. We have hummingbirds staying here year round feeding on the honey suckle that doesn't seem to die back ever.
Y’all are lucky! Our hummers are migratory and are only with us for 6 months. They like to spend the winter in Mexico 😉
Oh yea, they also have the Land and Sea compost, UNBELIEVABLE, I am in the Dallas,Texas area they are new here! And all the tone’s
I copied your middle pot and am loving it! I’ve never pitted vermillionare be Yi thought I didn’t like orange! Going to watch your video planting it with lemon coral sedum. Many thx
Will definitely try these here in North Alabama! Love watching your channel. Any chance you can share the size of the pots? Thank you for sharing your nursery experience 🙂
Hummingbirds really like RED....WOOF!! ☺ Just couldn't resist a little tease there! THANKS for your encouragement. Aphids HIT our huge Gen Wheeler red honeysuckle, so we had to finally cut back all the new growth and first blooms. SO...the hummers are looking for it already and so sad it's not there! Your video was reminder to do other things
to feed and keep them happy temporarily!
Aphids are the bane of honeysuckle vines. The first flush of blooms on my coral honeysuckle is destroyed every year. If I get lazy and fail to address the problem, my honeysuckle will become covered by tens of thousands of aphids.
Love the sable GSD
thank you❣️
Hello friend! My Vermillionare was planted near my front porch in the ground last summer. That plant survived the attic blast and is waking up quickly! That was a pleasant surprise 😮!
That’s awesome!!!!
I have lived in densely populated suburban environments all my 65 years. I garden in Hampton Virginia. I have never seen a hummingbird. I couldn't even say they actually exist at all.
Love the hummers in my garden. Diversity of critters is important I keep my hostas to feed all the deer that roam through my yard!😂
Good info. 👍
i just grabbed my Vermillionaire (Firecraker Plant) yesterday. Sorry I missed you. I drove away with a car full of annuals.
Here in northeastern Oklahoma we only have ruby red hummers also. I dont think they come til towards the middle or end of this month. ❤
Wow your sup 80k now congratulation friend
Thank you so much 💜
Lol not beloved Clemon. SC USC Gamecocks pays my retirement. 31 yrs before retired. I am in midlands. Can't wait to do containers for hummers. Years ago I experienced a hummer lovers dream. In a park in Albuquerque NM. I saw hundreds of hummingbirds over water.
Hi Jenny Happy Easter! Love the color combos. What size pots did you use and are you attaching drip tubing? I might have missed that part. Some day I hope to visit your garden center as we live in WI
My very best hummingbird plant is the salvia greggii. It had a few blooms on it before the March freeze even. They love it more than anything else, including the feeders.
Oh wow!
I've grown salvia greggii for ten years, but it's one of my least-used salvias. The favorite here in my Iowa garden is salvia guaranitica (which includes Rockin' Deep Purple). The salvia darcyi x microphylla hybrids ('scarlet spires', 'windwalker royal red') are also used heavily.
Thanks for the reminder... I haven't put my solution in my hummer feeder either... Oh my Bad! My memory is just not perfect. I'm working on a new flower bed, tore out a bush I've disliked since I moved here 3 years ago. That was so satisfying to get it out. So I've been in planting mode and forgot about my Little hummingbirds! I think it's a little early still so I think I'm OK....
This is what I have been wanting to do for a while. A deconstructed pot, so instead of 5-7 plants in 1 large pot. 2 to 3 smaller pots with 1-2 plants per pot but still following the spiller, thriller, filler recipe.
Best to use organic natural fertilizer or compost for overall health of plants and hummers 😎
Beautiful ❤ 😊 one question I have. I get the petunia bugs during the summer. Can I add the preventive treatment or would that hurt the hummingbird. Thanks for sharing. I hope to hear from anybody that know this. Thanks
Do you have a recommendation/link for a good hummingbird feeder that is also easy to clean?! Love your channel!
Hi Jenny! Love the planters for the hummingbirds. I just put out my feeders to see if we have them yet. Are there any plans to ship your plants again?
We will begin this fall 😊
Hummers also LOVE Mandevilla, hibiscus & fuchsia! They’re flocking to my patio with these in pinks, magentas & soft red. I’m so glad they’re back here in the MS Delta! Happy Easter weekend Jenny & Jerry & all of your staff at Creekside Nursery!
Love it!!
Love the plant you used & creating a combined planter arrangement!
Remind me, what is the tree behind you in the bed in your yard? It has really grown.
Oh thank you! It is an Okame cherry tree
Thank you
Such a fun video. You mentioned Rockin’ Deep Purple is improved- do you know if all the PW RDPs are improved going forward, or do I need to look for something specific on the tag? Do you have any videos of it that I can look for on your channel to see the growth? I currently grow Amistad and he’s a beast, looking for a more compact purple salvia. I wish you were closer so I could shop from you!
If it is a Rockin’ Deep Purple being sold this year then it is the improved plant; no special coding on the tag. You’re going to love it!
Beautiful pots, Jenny! We had our first hummer visit on 4/1 in Statesville NC also!
Yay!!!!
Where are the pots from? I love how sleek they are and the different sizes. Ps. I may copy the plants in these three for my own yard
These were designed by Michael Carr, and we had them for sale at the nursery a few years ago. We now have a bit of a different design available.
Jenny didn't you have a video about plants that like wet feet and full sun.
Where did u buy that dog????? That is a beautiful shepherd. Looks like a working line. I want one
Appreciate the Piedmont NC information. What are the sizes of the containers?
I wish we could post pics in RUclips comments to show you my question. Like you we have a creek that outlines the back of our property and the side of our house is a mini forest where I am doing a Partial-shade garden. Gets morning sun, damply sun during Noonish and no sun after 3ish-or later during during the summer months, we are South facing sun (zone5). We have sandy dirt all over but we also have a small wet land. Only see puddles after the snow melts. After each rain the water is sucked up ASAP. Would flowers like Putinas go ok in that area? Or what would be a good flowering plant.
I stumbled on a purple Salvia Greggii ....my hummingbirds LOVE IT
Thank you for highlighting regular supertunias instead of the vista or mini vista. It seems the vistas are all anyone recommends lately. So when I see the regulars for sale at my stores, I fear I can't buy those anymore because they won't perform. Any tips for helping the regulars bloom better? Thank you so much!!
Just remember that food = flowers. Petunias are heavy feeders and need to be fertilized regularly and often. You can liquid fertilize them with Proven Winners Water Soluble fertilizer every 10-14 days and especially after heavy rain (the rains leach the food out of the soil).
@@GardeningwithCreekside Hi Jenny, Thanks a bunch for the advice! I'm learning a lot from you : )
