Yes, Hummingbirds will go to Butterfly Bushes since they do produce nectar. Some of their fave plants though are Salvias, Cupheas, False Vervain and Honeysuckles due to a higher ratio of nectar per flower. It also depends on what else is near by...if anything at all for the Hummingbirds to feed on. At our place, since we have MANY high nectar plants, they rarely visit the Butterfly Bushes, however thay are covered with butterflies Smile

I thought I'd share a pic. There are 2 Hummingbirds...

Can you find "Waldo" (the 2nd one?) ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$

I would like to do some planting in my backyard, but I am allergic to Bee's. What kind of flowers do any of you suggest. Please name them, I am not a true gardener. Is it true that bee's do not like a certain color?

Well, if you keep them trimmed, they could be a border plant....but mine are almost like trees, and I cut them down drastically around March every year.
