I have grown the cardinal flower, mandevilla, candy corn and trumpet vines. Hummingbirds have been attracted to each one. Scarlet runner beans are probably the easiest to grow. Growing the scarlet runner bean and another vine in the same pot would feed hummingbirds the longest. Hummingbirds migrate through in May and September and some stay in the metro. May and September are peak times to see them.
