Hummingbird Garden

Do you know..?

21 years ago

I have a tall and growing Blue Borage plant in front of my home office window.. a small patch of garden at the side of my home(my own hummer paradise... I plant everything for them there...) Well... this borage plant.. I've been thinking to take it out because it is not pretty, the flower are so small(but a really nice blue), but.. the hummers actually love it... I have the feeder right in front of me and this plant and they are all over them...

I want to let you know because I didn't read about it in this forum...

Oh.. and the bees love it too...

Have a nice day everybody!

That's great to know. I used to let it seed around the garden back in the 1980s and I always kind of enjoyed the flowers, although not enough to keep growing it. Is that because it gets ratty quickly? In any case, it is always good to know what other plants are useful to hummers.
