Planting Salvias for hummingbirds is a no-brainer in my books.

Salvias are really easy to grow, bloom all summer long and many have really pretty blue-purple flowers (my favorite color!)

It is an an annual plant in most of the country, with some varieties being perennial in southern regions of the United States.
