planning a tiny forest and need to choose some lovely hummingbird/ butterfly loving colrful plants. Is the "american wisteria" a nitrogen fixing plant? like white clover? Any other beautiful aromatic bush for nitrogen fixing? many thanks.

Wisteria is a N fixing species as most pea/fabacea members are. I like the Trumpet vine for hummingbirds and butterflies too. Another favorite is Salvia coccinea. Nice red flowers. Here's a list I got off the web....http://www.dianeseeds.com/flowers/hummingbirds.html
