Hi, everybody,

Perhaps you can more experienced Hummingbirders can please help me out on this...

I would like to know what the best "Early Spring" plants are for attracting Ruby-throateds.

I have heard recommended "Ohio Buckeye" and that's it. But there must be more? (I have many of the summer blooming plants HBs love.)

Does anyone have any observations or experience they can share?

I want the Hummingbirds to come early to my garden and stay to make nests, not just migrate through!
