My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Proven, Fool Proof Hummingbird Plants

13 years ago

I have been attracting hummingbirds in my Connecticut yard for over 10 years with consistent success. This afternoon, I visited a large garden center which has thousands upon thousands of blooming plants under a canopy. I was looking for inspiration for new plants for containers when suddenly, a female ruby throat zoomed under the canopy, bypassed millions of blooms, and visited two plants:

Cuphea David
Salvia Guarantica

These two plants are truly the best of the best hummingbird plants!
