Hummingbirds are small, nectar-feeding birds that are often attracted to bright, colorful flowers. Marigolds are a type of flower that comes in a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, and red. While hummingbirds are not specifically attracted to marigolds, they will visit them if they are in bloom and there is nectar available. Marigolds are a good source of nectar for hummingbirds, and they can help to attract these birds to your garden.
In addition to providing nectar for hummingbirds, marigolds can also help to deter pests. The strong scent of marigolds can help to keep away insects, such as aphids and whiteflies. This can help to protect your other plants from damage.
