Hummingbirds are readily drawn to rural and suburban areas that offer a mixture of trees, shrubs, grassy meadows, and thick shady canopies. When you visit Quinta Mazatlan, you’ll see this combination along with nectar rich plants which include both native and tropical species.
Our Hummingbird Garden sits near the front entrance of the historic home and features 40 different plants which include herbaceous plants, shrubs, vines and trees of various heights and blooming dates.
It’s simple to design a hummingbird garden around a home, school or business using this combination of plants. It’s not necessary to feature 40 different plant species in your garden to attract hummingbirds; you can focus on 5 to 10 major nectar plants. Check out our “top 20” plants that will help you design your hummingbird garden.
