I already have hummers due to my torch lilies but the seem to have abandoned them in favor of the summer breeze agastache. I still have some Blue Fortune agastache that hasn't bloomed yet. That was last years favorite. I am curious to see which one the hummers prefer.

I bought this plant with the hope of attracting more hummingbirds, but so far no luck. The hummers seem to prefer my Firebush and Firespike better. It flowered for a long time, but it has started to decline rapidly during our wet summers. It also got attacked by scale. I'm hoping it will recover once the rainy season is over. It has a very nice fragrance that becomes quite pronounced during hot humid days.
