Here is one of several clumps of the hardy Sinningia ‘Bananas Foster’ we planted along our patio retaining wall, where we can sit at night and watch the hummingbirds dine. This amazing plant flowers from May through the summer, so there’s no need to refill the red plastic feeders with high fructose water. These are full sun plants, with amazing heat and drought tolerance. I can’t imagine anyone with a sunny garden, who enjoys hummingbirds, doesn’t have a mass of hardy sinningias.
thank you for introducing me to this new to me plant. I’ve been collecting plant ideas for a moon garden that gets baked by the wesrptern sun.
Bananas Foster is one of the best sinningias. And you are right, the hummingbirds love it. I did have 2 but 1 did not come back this year, not sure why. I think I need another one 😎
Supposed to be dessert of course.
I think you meant “dessert” not “desert” (sorry, I’m a stickler that way).
Opps…no excuses for that proofreading faux pas.
