🕊 Top Eight irresistible vines for a hummingbird haven. Part 1.

Below is the Hummingbird Haven Plan designed for continuous blooms, vertical interest, and year-round hummingbird attraction.

Centerpiece (Tall Structure / Arbor)

• 
  🦋 Thunbergia, especially Thunbergia mysorensis (Clock Vine). Provide strong overhead support for its hanging blooms. Let this showstopper trail over a sturdy pergola or arbor. Its long, red-and-yellow flowers will be your garden’s main hummingbird magnet.


Side Support (Trellis or Fence)
• 
  🦋 Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine) - A hardy, fast-growing native that clings to supports. Train it on a trellis for early-spring blooms that attract the season’s first hummingbirds.
• 
  🦋 Tecomaria (Cape Honeysuckle) - A vigorous, evergreen bloomer that loves full sun. Its bright red-orange tubular flowers draw hummingbirds throughout the year and are perfect for training along fences or trellises.


Mid-layer (Fence, Arch, or Large Pot Trellis)
• 
  🦋 Passiflora (especially vitifolia or coccinea). Needs full sun, rich soil, and regular water; prune to manage size and boost flowering. Let it twine near seating areas for bold red blooms and close-up hummingbird visits.


Ground-Level Accents
• 
  🦋 Ipomoea (including Prince Kuhio Vine) - Thrives in warm, frost-free zones with sun and moisture. Plant at the base of structures or in containers to sprawl or climb with vivid purple-pink blooms.
• 
  🦋 Lonicera (including L. sempervirens - Coral Honeysuckle) - Plant at the base of a trellis or fence, near the arbor. This cold-hardy native has red-orange or yellow tubular blooms from spring to fall and adds a delicate contrast to tropical textures.


Wild Touch / Quick Filler
• 
  🦋 Antigonon leptopus - Mexican Coral Vine - Loves sun and drains well; drought-tolerant but frost-sensitive. Great for fences and open trellises as a fast-growing, summer-to-fall bloomer buzzing with activity.
• 
  🦋 Pyrostegia venusta (Flame Vine) - Bursting in fiery orange, perfect for fences or pergolas. Plant along a back fence or side trellis where it can sprawl wide and fill empty space. Thrives in full sun, blooms in winter-spring, and complements vertical stars like Thunbergia and Passionflower.

📝 These vines feature tubular, nectar-rich blooms that hummingbirds adore.
Add a shallow birdbath or feeder nearby, and you'll have a full-service nectar station!

👑 Want a Fence Covered in Royal Blooms?

• 😈 Petrea volubilis, also known as Queen's Wreath or Sandpaper vine, started blooming in our garden again in April. This tropical wisteria that steals the show is a twining vine with large, rough leaves - just like a sandpaper!
• 😈 Petrea is the ultimate tropical climber - fast-growing, bold, and breathtaking. Its rough, sandpaper-like leaves are just the beginning... the real magic is in the massive cascading clusters of royal purple flowers that can stretch over a foot long!
• 😈 There's also a rare white variety - Petrea glandulosa Alba - White Queen's Wreath. It features the same cascading form as the purple type, but with elegant snow-white, pinwheel-like flowers that create a soft, striking contrast in the garden.
• 😈 Often called Tropical Wisteria, Petrea thrives in warm, humid climates and puts on a non-stop floral display. Each bloom lasts a few days, but the blue calyxes remain, giving the illusion of continuous flowering.
• 😈 These flowers draw in butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, turning your garden into a buzzing paradise.
• 😈 Let it climb a trellis, fence, or arbor and watch it become the centerpiece of your yard - fast!
