Looks like you're going to have a pretty great hummingbird/butterfly garden! Lots of favorites on your list!
Be sure to show us some 'before and after' photos! Always fun to see the difference! Good luck! t.
Congratulations. Enjoy your planting and reap the rewards of visitors this spring and summer!
My purple coneflowers were the most visited plants last summer although I have most of the ones you are planting.
Oh, I wanted to say, G4B, that red cannas might be a good addition for the HBs. A hummingbird specialist in Madison WI said they are essential for her midwest HB garden along with red salvia. Not native but still a nice flower for the little birds. I am growing them for the HBs this summer too.
