It is easy and fun to attract Ruby-throated hummingbirds to your home. Most people hang special feeders, but there are several plants that produce the kind of nectar that these hummingbirds crave.

Cypress vine-twinning annual plant with brightly colored star-shaped flowers; grows fast; perfect for a trellis, fence or hanging pot.
Columbine-fast growing biennial; produces flowers in an array of colors; loves partial shade. 
Bee balm-tall (2-4') perennial with red, pink, and white flowers; low-maintenance plant; spreads prolifically.
