Any Salvia, any plant that has no lower lip on the flower. Hummers prefer flowers that only hovering birds can eat from trumpet-type flowers. Don;t look just for annuals, in your zone most things are. Get some grown plants have them during the season and rotate them out for fall and winter-spring. Anything that fits the category of the hummers body-beak eating habit will work. They don;t smell their food they see it. Red means food You could grow Dropmore honey suckle (Lonicera brownii) and Goldflame honeysuckle (Lonicera heckrottii) They can take cold to 10 or 20 below and come back. This is Salvia Navajo Rose.
