Deathweed

Deathweed is a type of Herb which appears as a short double stalk of corrupted grass with sickly green bulbs at the ends. It grows in The Corruption, on Ebonstone or corrupted grass, and can be cut by any weapon or tool. It can also be planted in Clay Pots by using Deathweed Seeds.

Deathweed blooms during a Blood Moon and this is the only time that it will drop 1-3 Deathweed Seeds when cut. Deathweed will have a pulsating glow during this time, making it easy to spot. Like other herbs, it can be harvested when not blooming for the herb itself, but will not give you seeds, making this arguably the trickiest herb to cultivate.

Trivia

 * This could be a reference to an in-game item in the highly successful MMORPG, World of Warcraft. However you can no longer find deathweed in World of Warcraft.
