New The gallery of hummingbird flowers has been revised. We now have pictures of hummingbirds at 89 different flowers in our yard. The gallery has been optimized for viewing on tablets and mobile devices. There are 13 additional flowers added in late 2025. The flowers added are listed as New on the hardiness page and alphabetic listing page.

Welcome to our web site of hummingbird gardening. We have been into this for 25 years and have learned from books, experts around the country and our own trial and error. Above are links to our Gallery of Hummingbird Flowers (with a hummingbird at each flower) and our newsletter, The Nectar News (previously, the Dane County Nectar News). The nectar news is no longer mailed as hard copies. Periodic updates are sent by email and available on our blog. If you wish to join our email distribution list (we never share your email address with anyone else), please send an email to Kathi at her address listed at the bottom of this page.
