I, too, am in the Midwest. I have a patio garden planted in front of the patio and I put Canna bulbs in there. I use the red flowers (not that it makes a difference), but I get the hummers en force. You can sit on the patio (and the cannas also act as a privacy wall (to a point). and watch them flit from flower to flower. It is a lot of fun. Or, it is a shady area and I have put in Impatiens. When I had sunshine in that area a mixture of Zinnias, planted helter skelter is beautiful. Good luck. This year it is Petunias. Coral Pink. Edie
