Clematis Is Filled With Nectar That Hummingbirds Love

With around 380 types of clematis, I’m sure you’ll find plenty of blooms to brighten up your garden! 

Once the blooms fade, feathery seed heads appear, and they gather the soft materials to create an inner layer for their nests 

What’s also great about clematis is that they’re super easy to take care of. They come in all shapes and sizes 

Generally, clematis thrive in USDA hardiness zones 4-10 and love full sun, although some can handle partial shade

They prefer slightly alkaline soil that drains well but shouldn’t be left to dry out completely.

In the wonderful world of birds, female hummingbirds actually work hard to build small, comfy nests that can stretch as their babies grow. 

The ladies start with a sturdy base made of twigs and other plant materials, then look for soft lining like the fibers from cinnamon fern.

hese fluffy fibers cradle the eggs and keep them warm.
