Snapdragons, with their tall spikes of tubular flowers, are a favorite among gardeners, and hummingbirds are particularly attracted to tubular flowers.
Snapdragons can spread through reseeding, meaning they will naturally produce seeds that can germinate and grow into new plants. However, they don't spread aggressively, and you can control their spread by deadheading spent flowers before they go to seed.
