Strange Plant

Strange Plants are a very rare variety of plants that are traded with the Dye Trader for different, animated dyes. When Traded in, the player receives three of the same kind of random dye (See Strange Plants quest). All plants can be found on the surface; the purple and green plants can be found anywhere on the surface, and the orange plant can be found in Forests and underground. The red plant can be found both on the surface and underground.

Acquiring a Strange Plant before the Dye Trader has moved in will fulfill one of his spawning requirements, the other being acquiring a Dye-crafting item. Keeping both in the player's inventory, and having a suitable vacant House, will allow the Dye Trader to spawn during a subsequent morning.

Trivia

 * How the four strange plants are colored could possibly be a reference to the four celestial towers, nebula, solar, vortex, and stardust.

Tips

 * Since Strange Plants can grow on grass-less dirt, making a long, flat platform just above the ground is an effective method of farming them(but it should be fairly long for maximum chances).
 * Viewing of Strange Plants is client side if you are playing single player
 * You can grow strange plants if you run across grass with the Flower Boots equipped
