What works for us are honeysuckle, cypress vine, salvia-red hot sally and
trumpet vine.
These all grow like weeds. A 50 foot row of each would feed hundreds of hummers.
The cypress vine, especially, will really spread but if you put it under a
fence then you can just let it go and run the mower a foot away from each side.
It grows 1/2 ft. a day at this time of the year. What a climber.

I am unconvinced that flowers offer that much more in the way of potential
nutrition than our feeders.
