good morning, I would suggest they be sure to start early with a plant post that can hang a feeder and a cascading annual plant favorite full of blooms to lure them in :) Fuschia baskets are nice and in bloom early season as are bright red verbenas, calibrachoas (million bells) and petunias.

One of the earliest blooming hummer perennial I've noticed in our zone is the quince, but not everyone likes them (thorns), I wish we had one ~ don't have any quince yet personally. Cowslip is adorable; pale yellow blooms in April. Everything that has been mentioned already is good esp. the suggestions for trumpet honeysuckle Lonicera sempervirens , that blooms early too and they really adore that plant a lot!

It won't be too long before the hummers return :) Happy Hummer Watching!
