Your yard will be home to jewel-toned, quicksilver hummingbirds once you install this colorful bed. A rich display of bright annuals and perennials, specially selected to attract hummingbirds, creates a delightful setting. All birds need water, and hummingbirds are particularly attracted to flowing water, so the birdbath in this design features a small bubbler device. Informal flagstone pavers lead through the garden to a semicircular mulched area set with flagstones that surround the birdbath. The path to the wooden pergola (not included in plans), which creates a lovely sitting area, leads through the pretty flowers. Climbing vines and hanging planters attached to the pergola provide additional nectar and create a pleasant shady area where you can watch the hummers dart by. Hang the pots so you can watch the birds at eye level from the sitting area. Neutral-colored plastic pots look best and cut down on evaporation, minimizing watering chores. Site this design in a sunny location close to your house so you can observe the birds from indoors as well. Or, if you prefer, locate the bed in a quiet corner of your yard to enhance the tranquil atmosphere. Sit beneath the flower-draped pergola and enjoy glimpses of hummingbirds as they pause in midflight to drink nectar and splash in the birdbath.
