Because of its long, perfectly tubular blooms and deep, true-red color, the Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) is a top pick for Flowers That Attract Hummingbirds. Since hummingbirds can readily access the nectar with their long bills, these features are almost exclusively tailored for them. Among hummingbird plants, it is a classic due to its eye-catching appearance.
