No info about that specific plant, but just to add that my hummingbirds go after yellow more than red. What initially drew them to all my other plants were the yellow calibrachoas in my planters. I added a small lightweight nyjer seed tube that was yellow and attached it to my window with other feeders. Within 10 minutes I noticed a hummingbird hovering right next to it to check it out. Made me think of swapping it for a hummingbird feeder since the other feeders obviously didn't bother it. But decided I didn't want the nectar that close to the window to get it sticky as well as dirty.
