How about snapdragons for hummingbirds?

True snapdragons are not a great choice for attracting hummingbirds to your garden. While the colors are correct, the fused flower petals that form the bottom lip on the flower make it so a hummingbird cannot get its beak in. There is a type of snapdragon, usually refered to as a open-face snapdragon or a tall lobelia. These have plants and flowers that look just like a snapdragon except for having an open, tube-like flower. They are very hard to find -- the only place that I can think of that sells the seed for them is Thompson and Morgan.





(Note: these are NOT the tiny blue/purple/white lobelia that you can find at most greenhouses.)





If you are trying to attract hummingbirds, some great options are:





Agastache cana (Bubble Gum Mint), Agastache rupestris (Sunset Hyssop), Aquilegia (Columbine), Asclepias (Butterfly Weed), Ceratotheca triloba (African Foxglove), Cleome (Spider Flower-- there is a short, heirloom variety from Seed Savers that is AMAZING!!!), Cosmos 'Ladybird Scarlet', Digitalis (Foxglove), Heuchera sanguinea (Coral Bells), Hollyhock, Ipomoea (Morning Glory), Ipomopsis (Scarlet Gilia), Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker), Lychnis chalcedonica (Maltese Cross), Mirabilis jalapa (Four O'Clock), Monarda (Bee Balm),Nepeta (Catmint), Nicotiana langsdorfii (Flowering Tobacco), Oenothera 'Lemon Sunset' (Evening Primrose), Penstemon (Beardtongue), Perovskia atriplicifolia (Russian Sage), Salvia (Sage),Silene regia (Royal Catchfly), Scarlet Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus), Tithonia 'Torch' (Mexican Sunflower), Verbena (Vervain), Zinnia

How about snapdragons for hummingbirds?
Snapdragons are a good choice for hummingbirds. Get brightly colored blossoms, and you may have little buzzing visitors all summer long. Hummingbirds prefer reds, yellows, and bright pinks over pastel colors. Snapdragons need full sun, at least most of the day, and work in gardens or containers. You can even collect seeds and grow them next year for "free." To collect the seeds, carefully pick the ripened seed pods, which look like little hard vases, and dump out the tiny black seeds. Keep them dry until planting season and start them early. Best of luck!
