The nasturtium is a companion plant as aphids like the scarlet runner bean plant. I've read the beans co evolved with the hummingbird and the beak and tongue of the bird fits perfectly the flowers of the plant. I do have regular visits from hummingbirds, They go from blossom to blossom harvesting nectar.
