Do Hummingbirds Like Morning Glories: A Natural Oasis

Morning glories are annual vining plants with bright trumpet-shaped flowers that spread wide in the morning sun. With over 1,000 kinds, morning glories such Heavenly Blue, Grandpa Otts, Scarlett O'Hara, Flying Saucers, and Moonflower are popular garden plants.

Morning glories grow rapidly, climbing 6-10-foot trellises, fences, and arbors. As the vines spread, their heart-shaped leaves blanket the ground. Morning glories love sun and well-drained soil.

Hummingbirds and other pollinators enjoy the flowers' color and nectar from early summer to frost.

Hummingbirds have a quick metabolism and must eat half their body weight in nectar daily, spread out over several feedings. They'll visit 1,000–2,000 blossoms daily!

Morning glories generate sugary nectar to meet hummingbirds' high nutritional needs. Hummingbirds lick 15-20 times per second with their lengthy tongues. Hummingbirds' long, slender bills fit wonderfully in the morning glory flower's tubular trumpet shape!

Hummingbirds get fresh food from morning glories all season. The nectar is good for hummingbird digestion and vitality.
