Plants for Hummingbirds in Houston by Donald Burger, Houston, TX Plants for Hummingbirds in Houston by Donald Ray Burger Attorney at Law Hummingbirds prefer red and orange flowers, shaped like trumpets. I must personally observe a hummingbird eating from the plant before it can make this list. Evergreen shrub in Houston.
Long shoots give the plant an airy, arching look.
Our canes are up to five feet. White flowers in summer and fall. First noticed hummer eating from blooms on September 12, 1998. Prefers high humidity and temperatures above 60 degrees. Beautiful yellow flower.
