Sun and shade should be created by trees and open areas. Your hummingbird flowers will need sun to grow and your hummingbirds will need the shade to perch in between feedings. Don't forget the importance of plants that provide nesting materials. Hummingbirds like downy like materials for their nests, using these fibers with bits of leaves, spider webs, moss, and lichens to construct their nests. Willow trees and eucalyptus trees are invaluable for providing downy like materials.
Hummingbirds love to bathe on misted leaves.
Be sure to position your hummingbird garden where you can see it and get the most enjoyment out of it.
