Central Coast California native plants generally available in nursery trade, from specialty native plant nurseries or plant sales, that provide nectar for a number of

specific butterfly and Moth species. Complied from many sources Jeffrey A. Caldwell, supplemented and edited for local Monterey County Species by Pat Regan

Healthy plants under good moisture conditions produce more nectar. Usually plants in sheltered, sunny locations get more attention. The minimum patch size in flower for one species to be likely to be "found" and used is roughly 25 square feet. Maximum interest is generated when eight or more attractive species in significant patches are in flower simultaneously. For butterfly gardens, bigger is better!

Instead of flower nectar, many butterflies are attracted to rotting fruit. A few are attracted to tree sap, as from the wounds made by a sapsucker to living trees. Fresh dung and mud are other items of sustenance of importance to many butterflies.
