Nectar-Filled Flower Feeder Attracts Butterflies

Nature centers and public gardens feed butterflies by offering them sponges soaked in a nectar solution. Our beautiful glass flower serves up a sweet and nutritious meal that butterflies can’t resist. The 7" blue-green speckled bowl fits securely into the spiral top of the iron stake, and the yellow mesh sponge gives beautiful butterflies a place to land.

  • Use with Butterfly Nectar, sold separately

    Comments about Butterfly Beacon:

    I purchased this butterfly feeder with the packet of nectar several weeks ago. I set it up in my garden (Northern Catskills) immediately among my flowers and flowering shrubs, where many butterflies are active... The only visitors to the nectar feeder so far, have been ants... The butterflies are right there, but just ignore it. I would NOT recommend this to attract butterflies, but it does make a pretty garden accent...

          This is a beautiful little addition to the garden, but so far there have been no butterflies drawn to it. I'm still waiting. It is well made, lovely glass, and looks nice.

                    Very pretty, no butterflies yet, wonder if item needs to have red in it. All the butterflies we have now are going to the red flowers, haven't seen any butterflies come close to this feeder. Maybe it is too early to reccomend.
