I had a nesting pair stay with me for a couple of years when I had a reblooming
form of our native coral honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) on my fence. I am
wondering if having lots of flowers in the red color range might help to
attract and keep them around. I do like that red flowering yucca, (Hesperaloe
parviflora) and they hummingbirds do too. I just bought a few to plant at my
new home and this spring planted two of the reblooming honeysuckles (there are
three forms, Alabama Crimson, Major Wheeler and Blanche Sandman), so maybe I
will attract them again.
