Waterleaf Seeds

Waterleaf Seeds were introduced in the 1.0.5 patch.

They can be found when harvesting Waterleaf, but only when the conditions are right! Only a blooming Waterleaf plant will yield seeds when harvested, and the only way to make a Waterleaf plant bloom is to literally pour water on it. The easiest way to do this when attempting to procure your initial seeds out in a Desert biome is to place blocks two high on either side of the plant and then pour a Water Bucket into the gap, thus submerging the Waterleaf in water. Now, when you harvest the Waterleaf, it will also drop Waterleaf Seeds.

Waterleaf Seeds can be placed in empty Clay Pots or in Sand and grown into additional, harvestable Waterleaf. Potted Waterleaf will grow anywhere, not just in the Desert biomes, but will only yield seeds if you submerge the plant, Clay Pot and all, in water.

Keep in mind as of 1.0.5 you can no longer harvest flowers or herbs out of Clay Pots with a standard bladed weapon; instead, use your Pickaxe and left-click on the flower or herb above the Clay Pot you wish to harvest out of.
