California fuchsia

These bold succulents with fleshy, sword-shaped leaves and giant flower spikes are highly prized desert hummingbird plants. Plant them in well-drained sandy soil in full sun.

Columbine (Aquilegia spp.)

Zones: 3–9 Height: 6"–48" (15–120cm)

Blooming season: Mid-spring to early summer

These beautiful spurred flowers are hummingbird favorites. The red-and-yellow-flowered wild columbine native to the East, Aquilegia canadensis, will freely reseed itself — be careful it doesn’t become a pest. In the West, plant crimson columbine, Aquilegia formosa, native to California, Oregon, and Nevada. All columbines like moist soils with light to moderate shade. Columbines do well in rock gardens.

Coralbells (Heuchera spp.)

Zones: 3–9

Height: 12"–36" (30–90cm)

Blooming season: Late spring to early autumn
