Herbs

Herbs are alchemy ingredients introduced in the 1.0.5 patch. All special potions require at least 1 kind of herb to make. Each herb can be found in a specific location, and will only bloom in specific circumstances. If they are harvested while blooming, they will drop 1-3 seeds of the herb's type, which can be put in clay pots to grow a new plant in any location.

The types of plants are:

Daybloom Grows: Grass. Blooms: During the day.

Moonglow Grows: Jungle grass. Blooms: During the night.

Blinkroot Grows: Underground caverns. Blooms: randomly?

Deathweed Grows: Corruption or Ebonstone. Blooms: During a Blood Moon.

Fireblossom Grows: Ash blocks in the Underworld. Blooms: Touching lava.

Waterleaf Grows: Sand in a desert. Blooms: Touching water.
