My daughter lives in Canada and recently hung a feeder for Hummingbirds - which so far has attracted one bird. Are there any winter flowering shrubs or flowers that she can plant to attract more please?
WINTER---no, they need to fly south to warmer places. I live in PA, I remove my feeder about end of September as they are leaving to fly south to warmer states and you don't want them to stay and get hurt by the winter weather. That is what a hummer does, they cannot tolerate cold winter climates. However, if your looking for plants in the spring for them to welcome them back there are a few, my Virginia Blue bells they like which is a very early flowering plant to have ready. Later there are the Bee Palms, some Phlox, Honeysuckle. And I am sure others have more to add.My daughter lives in Canada and recently hung a feeder for Hummingbirds - which so far has attracted one bird.

Thanks Esther and JB.My daughter saw the hummingbird feeding three days ago, so it must be late leaving.
Edit: My daughter lives in British Columbia and says that the birds stay there all year round.
The ones that stay in British Columbia for the winter are ''anna`s'' humming birds.I live in north Louisiana. They leave us and head south. They come back around as early as March. We still get cold spells but that’s when we put the feeders back out.
That’s an outstanding photo!The ones that stay in British Columbia for the winter are ''anna`s'' humming birds. View attachment 73294
