Hi,
Here are a few of my favorites
Coral Bells, Red Bee Balm, Foxglove, Scarlet Salvia, Bleeding Heart, Cardinal Flower and Red Columbine.
You don't need a lot of gardening experience to create a hummingbird garden. You'll be happy to know that there are hundreds of plants that will attract hummers, many of which are hardy and easy to maintain. First you need to find out which hummingbirds are found in your area and which hummingbird flowers they are attracted to. A local bird club or garden club is a good place to find this information.

I like al of the previous answers but really the only thing you have to keep in mind is if all you want to use are flowers you MUST choose flowers that bloom in red. Impatience would be excellent since it blooms all season and you can buy just the red varieties.
Humming bird feeders are also an excellant choice. Get any kind you can hang just outside your window. Hummingbirds are not particularly shy and will visit up-close-and-personal.

Believe it or not, my hummingbirds hang out in my chive plants when they bloom. Also, Impaitens are a favorite of hummingbirds. My hummers also adore columbines and hollyhocks. A hanging fuscia basket will draw the hummers by the droves but these plants are not real ground hardy and do best in a hanging basket. They also like a lot of shade. Impatiens are your best bet.
