Hummingbirds can be kind of elusive, can’t they? Whenever you see one, it’s enough of a novelty to call your friends and family to come and look. If you love hummingbirds, you might have a special feeder out. But why not attract them the 100% natural way? Here are some plants and flowers that naturally attract these amazing little creatures.

1. Chilean Glory Flower

Is this gorgeous or what? The Chilean glory flower is a perennial plant that blooms in late spring and lasts until fall. It’s a climber, too, so if you give it something to climb you can really make a statement.
