To attract more hummingbirds to the garden, plant a variety of  flowers and shrubs in varying heights to provide shade, shelter, food,  and water. Hummingbirds love bright-colored, tubular flowers because they hold  more nectar and are particularly drawn to red, orange, pink, and yellow  hues.

Hummingbirds are attracted to nectar-rich flowers, so planting a variety of flowering plants is a great way to attract them.

You can also provide a hummingbird feeder filled with a solution of four  parts water to one part white sugar. Be sure to clean the feeder  regularly and refill it as needed.

Hummingbirds need a place to rest between feedings, so providing perches such as twigs or branches can be helpful.

A shallow dish filled with water can also attract hummingbirds to your  garden. The birds will use the water for drinking and bathing.

Hummingbirds will also appreciate having a shaded area in which to rest  and hide from predators. You can provide this by planting native shrubs  or trees, or by installing a birdhouse.
