Hummingbirds Love This Gorgeous Sapphire Flower
By BRANDY EAKLOR
Providing vibrant, tubular flowers for hummingbirds to drink from is one of the best ways to attract the tiny creatures to your garden, especially with “Ever Sapphire” Agapanthus.
Also known as Lily of the Nile, Agapanthus is a prolific bloomer, gracing your garden with its vibrant blue blooms atop 12- to 24-inch flower stocks from spring through summer.
Not only are these plants easy to grow, but they're pest and disease-resistant, making them suitable for beginner and expert gardeners alike.
Agapanthus is irresistible to hummingbirds — its vibrant color grabs their attention, while its trumpet-shape blooms accommodate their unique beaks.
The clump-forming Agapanthus is a perfect food source for hummingbirds, producing several flower stocks in each plant, with 20 to 100 flowers in each umbel.
Hummingbirds have impressive memories and can even remember locations they've eaten at before. So adding these blue-purple beauties will make your garden a hummingbird haven.
