I bought a packet of bee balm and scarlet runner beans hoping to attract some hummingbirds. Any other plants that have worked for you?
 
I have bottlebrush, Texas red yucca, honeysuckles, yellow jasmine, hot lips sage salvia and lots of Kniphofia (torch lily) that work perfectly for me.

You should definitely check out your local garden store and ask someone who's knowledgeable there, as local is always best. That being said, I've stepped up my hummer patio this season, and they've gone nuts for the new emu bushes, kangaroo paws and columbine flowers. Since you're in Canada, though, and I'm in SoCal, I suspect our climates/zones are very different and these flowers might not grow well in your region. However, I second the lantanas.
