Comments about Butterfly Nectar:

I bought 3 boxes of this. That was plenty since it only takes a Tablespoon to 1 1/4 cups of water. I have put nectar out 4 times and still have not seen a butterfly. But, I'm not giving up! I have a lot of nectar to use!

Comments about Butterfly Nectar:

I have had a couple smaller butterflies using this. I use it in the Butterfly Oasis with a couple layers of sponge. I can't wait for the Monarchs to return and the Swallowtails to hatch. If the little butterflies are finding it with the heavy scent of nearby lilacs in bloom, the others should have no problem finding it once the lilacs are finished blooming. It will be interesting to see if the Hummingbirds also are drawn to it.
