Attract Butterflies with the Thistle Butterfly Puddler

Transform your garden into a butterfly paradise with the Thistle Butterfly Puddler. This beautiful stoneware piece is designed to attract butterflies by providing them with essential minerals they crave. Let’s explore how this unique garden accessory can enhance your outdoor space and bring more of these delightful creatures to your yard.

How the Thistle Butterfly Puddler Works

The Thistle Butterfly Puddler features a shallow well made of recycled glass that holds sand or rock salt and a small amount of water. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind mineral crystals that butterflies find irresistible. This clever design mimics natural “puddling” spots that butterflies seek out in the wild.
