Answer 1

In my garden I try to use as many native flowers & plants to my state & region. The birds, butterflies & hummers love 'em. Try some plain old fashioned flowers like zinnias, petunias, marigolds, sunflowers, 4 oclocks, lantana. The finches love the zinnias & sunflowers. The hummingbirds love the 4 oclocks & petunias. The butterflies like the lantana. With all the lovely colors in your yard, you will have lots of great compliments too.

It's too late to start for this unless you can find a seedling or plant, but Sunflowers are good. Birds keep coming back for seeds. You can also place bird feeder outside of your house, somewhere protective and shady.

Plant Zinnias, Cosmos, salvia--anything that offers a nice flower in your area.

Look for a plant called LANTANA (check the spelling).
