Where I now live, taking care of my grandmother. I am limited to container gardening but I'm not letting that stop me. I've put together several mixed containers so far and hope to do some more next week. Anyway, my question is related to attracting hummingbirds as my grandmother loves them and has a hummingbird feeder.

I found two plants labeled as ones that attract hummingbirds - fuschia and another I can't remember the official name but it has pretty star-shaped flowers. What other plants are extra attractive to hummingbirds?

Crocosmia are great hummingbird attractors.
