Favorite Shrubs or Small Trees for Birds & Butterflies

•  Arbutus unedo
  The small, white flowers are a nectar favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies; mockingbirds love the fruit. It's always a "buzz" of activity.

•  Caesalpinia gilliesii
  It's very showy, exceedingly drought-tolerant, exceptionally hardy--and the hummingbirds LOVE it!
  Additional Details
  
  
•  Cassia didymobotrya
  Produces beautiful yellow blooms almost all year. Fast grower. Best of all, plant it and you will soon have large, sulphur butterflies drifing around your yard! (It's their host plant.) Although considered "tropical" it survives our Alpine winters.
