    I've got a place near my hummingbird feeder to put a hanging basket. I'm looking for a flowering plant that would help attract the hummers... and look and do well in a hanging basket. The spot only gets partial shade. Any suggestions?

    What about the wave petunia? Perhaps that would work as I have attracted hummers that way. :stew2:

    There are lots of plants suggested on this website that you could choose from to attract the hummers to your garden Cheryl. :-D

    Do let us see a photograph when you've planted the hanging basket up won't you? :stew2:

    Eileen...
    I'd been reading through that site. And there are lots of beautiful flowers... but most don't seem to lend themselves to a hanging basket (at least the perennials. I'll keep reading through it though! Thanks!
