What is a good outside flower to attract hummer bird?

Well there are many different types of flowers/vines that hummers will enjoy, you really need to say what characteristics you would want. (Colour, height, light etc.) There is also a difference between attracting and actual nectar quantity. Red Petunias, Impatiens, even my red hat will attract them, but they are not high in nectar unlike some of the Salvias, Agastaches, and Honeysuckles to name a few.

I have two different kinds, hanging and then a planter hybrid. They can't resist. Plus a red feeder that I fill with a mix of sugar water. Three cups of hot water to one cup of table sugar mixed until clear and put out when cool. Leftovers can be refrigerated for three days. Make sure you clean the feeder bc a black mold will grow.What is a good outside flower to attract hummer bird?
