Jewel of the North - Hummingbird guide (EBOOK)

Jewel of the North:  Most hummingbird resources are written for the heat of the American South, leaving Northern gardeners in the cold. Jewel of the North changes that. Written specifically for Canada and the Northern U.S., this guide by Michael Wiens addresses the unique behavioral shifts and shorter growing seasons of the North’s most iconic visitor.

From frost-hardy perennials to high-impact annuals, this book provides a localized roadmap for the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Stop following "one-size-fits-all" advice and start using data researched and proven in the Canadian climate.
