Plant winter-hardy varieties like columbine and bee balm that thrive despite the cold, offering a reliable food source for hummingbirds. 

Use mulch around the base of plants to insulate roots and maintain soil temperature, keeping flowers healthy through winter. 

Prune dead stems in early spring to encourage fresh growth and maintain the flower's attractiveness for hummingbirds. 

Install bird feeders with sugar water during winter months to supplement the natural nectar source for hummingbirds. 

Create sheltered spots by using evergreen shrubs or structures to protect hummingbird-favorite flowers from harsh weather. 

Choose native plants that are adapted to your local climate, ensuring they are more resilient and easier to overwinter. 

Monitor soil moisture regularly; well-hydrated plants are better equipped to handle winter conditions and support hummingbird visits.
