 Introduction
I
n a world that is always bombarded with the
influence of the feywild, the shadowfell, chaotic
magical experiments, necrotic rituals, and other
magical struggles it's often strange to see a wild
environment that is sometimes mundane in
comparison to the creatures that inhabit it. This
Horticulture Guide seeks to change that, by adding
67 magical plants, herbs, shrooms, and more in all terrains to
create a more fantastical yet grounded environment. These
magical plants can range in importance, to simple edible
vines when cooked, all the way to iridescent sunflowers that
can siphon and steal dreams. This guide is designed to create
a sense of depth and world-building within the wilds and
within nature with plants that can hinder or help adventurers!
Teas, Poisons, and
Poultices!
  Nearly every plant listed in this Horticulture Guide has
some kind of use for the plant, through being dried, turned
into a tea, or even poisons! Whenever a character wants to
attempt to extract, improve, dry, treat, or otherwise refine one
of the plants, it must be done over the course of a Short rest
or an hour of uninterrupted work, where they make an
Herbalism Kit ability check with the DC dependent on the
plant that's listed in its description. The DM decides what
ability check is appropriate for its extraction, but a good rule
of thumb is that Wisdom dictates the majority of these
checks. Upon success, the refined product is created! Upon
failure, the materials used are lost.
As a general rule of thumb, the refined version of a plant,
be it a tea, extract, etcetera, typically doubles the value of the
raw plant or herb. Furthermore, if a plant is converted and
refined into a drinkable state or a tea, this tea or drinkable
substance will only retain its potency and properties as long
as it is heated. As soon as it loses its heat, whatever special
properties it would confer, are lost. (Nobody likes cold tea!)
It's your World!
  Keep in mind, all of these rules, as well as all of these
herbs, are an optional ruleset that you can choose to use,
edit, or ignore. This has been designed to add more flavor
and depth to the wild lands of your fantasy world, but it is up
to you, the DM, on how much you wish to integrate this into
your world. If some plants or herbs you think are ridiculous
or too powerful, none of the ‘balance’ of the other plants will
be affected if you simply choose to never implement it!
Now I can hear you saying, ‘This is a lot of information, but
I don’t want to read through all of these to figure out which
ones I need for my next encounter!’ Well lucky you, at the
bottom of this document are various tables and lists that
include plants sorted by environments, plants sorted by
rarities, as well as tables you can roll on to fill up otherwise
mundane battlemaps and encounters with appropriate
herbs/plants.

Airpearls
Common, 10gp
Airpearls are a type of underwater creeper that produces a
thin, translucent membrane that holds compressed oxygen.
As such, they are referred to as Air Pearls, and the pearls
themselves can vary in size, growing as small as grapes or as
large as apples. Airpearls are most commonly found in
Coastal and Underwater environments, but they can also be
found at the tops of sunken graves or at the bottom of ponds,
lakes, and banks. If an Airpearl is plucked and eaten, the
creature must make a Constitution saving throw of 10 or take
1d4 bludgeoning damage, as the Airpearl holds a large
amount of compressed air. If ruptured, an Airpearl will burst
into a small pocket of air that lasts for one round before
dissipating, allowing for a creature to gain a single breath of
air.
However with an Herbalism Kit check of 13, the Airpearl
can be treated and par-boiled with mud to create a clay
exterior that is semi-permeable, only letting air escape from it
when a creature sucks the air out, allowing a creature to
breathe out of the Airpearl for 10 minutes before it loses its
potency.

Blackwillow
Uncommon, 100gp
Blackwillows are a type of spindly grey willow, with almost
skeletal-like branches and a thick bough that produces a
black, tar-like sap. Blackwillows are typically only found in
areas that have been corrupted by the Shadowfell or areas
with extreme necrotic influences. Their origin is typically a
Treant or Awakened Tree that has died, where their body is
corrupted by necrotic energies and transformed into a
Blackwillow. The Blackwillow produces a black, tar-like sap
that draws Undead to its location. If a creature that is
Undead consumes this black sap, they have Advantage on all
saving throws and can’t be frightened for 1 hour. Any other
creature that consumes this black sap must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw of 15 or become poisoned for 1
hour, and while poisoned in this way, they are vulnerable to
Necrotic damage.
Black sap can be distilled into a potent poison with an
Herbalism kit check of 20, creating a Blackwillow Poison. A
creature who ingests or is injured by a weapon coated with
Blackwillow Poison must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw of 15 or become poisoned for 1 hour, and while
poisoned in this way, they are vulnerable to Necrotic damage.
An undead creature is immune to the effects of Blackwillow
Poison. Once a creature succeeds on their saving throw
against Blackwillow Poison, they are immune to its effects for
24 hours.
Common, 15gp
Bloomshrooms are a type of poisonous fungus with a deep
purple bulb that holds poisonous gas from its stalk which is
wrapped with dark violet webbed leaves that contain
hundreds of small bristles. Bloomshrooms are found in very
damp areas, typically in Swamp, Jungle, and Underdark
environments. If a creature comes within 5 feet of a
Bloomshroom, the four leaves will register the movement
unfurl, where the bulb will expel all of the poisonous gas
within it, directed at the creature. A creature who is sprayed
by this gas must succeed on a Constitution saving throw of
14 or take 2d6 poison damage and become poisoned for 1
hour upon failure, only taking half damage upon success. A
creature who is aware of the Bloomshroom and their effects
can use their reaction to make a Dexterity check of 14 to grab
and pull the bulb from the stalk before it releases. A creature
with proficiency in Herbalism Kits can add their proficiency
bonus to this check. Doing so kills the Bloomshroom, but
successfully harvests the bulb.
A bulb harvested in this way retains its potency for 8 hours
and can be shrunken and treated with an Herbalism Kit
check of 16 to make a Bloomshroom Bomb. A Bloomshroom
Bomb can be thrown up to 20 feet away as an action, where it
will explode into Bloomshroom Gas in a 5 foot radius. A
first time on a turn must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw of 14. Upon failure, they take 2d6 poison damage and
are poisoned for 1 minute, repeating the initial saving throw
at the end of their turns and ending the effect on a success.
Upon success, the creature only takes half damage and is not
poisoned.
Boilblossom
Common, 25gp
Boilblossoms are bright orange glowing bulbs that can
grow up to 3 inches in diameter, connected to creeper-like
roots that grow around rocks and hydrothermal vents
underwater, typically found deeper in the ocean.
Boilblossoms are deeply connected to the Elemental Plane of
Fire and are usually found near hydrothermal vents or areas
that are deeply tied with the Elemental Plane of Fire. As
such, Boilblossoms can be found in any underwater
Environment, but are most common in deep underwater
caves. If a creature or object touches a Boilblossom, it will
glow an even brighter orange, emitting 5 feet of dim light, and
it will channel energy from the Elemental Plane of Fire and
begin to boil the water around it in a 10 foot cube. The
Boilblossom continues to boil water around it for 1 minute or
until it is dealt any instance of cold damage. The area affected
counts as difficult terrain, and a creature who enters the
space for the first time on a turn or ends their turn within the
boiling water must succeed on a Constitution saving throw of
13 or take 3d6 fire damage, halved on success.
A Boilblossom bulb can be harvested with an Herbalism
Kit check of 14, where as long as it is kept in water, it will stay
alive in an inactive state, latently drawing power and life from
the Elemental Plane of Fire. A Boilblossom bulb can be
replanted with careful preparations and techniques,
represented by an Herbalism Kit check of 16.

striations. Chokeshrooms are usually 3 to 6 inches in
diameter. Chokeshrooms are typically found in Underdark
and Jungle environments, but can be found in any place that
is sufficiently dark and damp. When a creature comes into
contact with a Chokeshroom or a Chokeshroom is jostled, it
will release an asphyxiant gas in a 5 foot radius sphere
centered on the Chokeshroom. Creatures are considered
suffocating while inside of the asphyxiant gas, it heavily

of the gas must succeed on a Constitution saving throw of 10

at the end of each of their turns and ending the effect upon
success. This gas will linger for 1 minute, or until a moderate
wind blows it away. Once a Chokeshroom has released this
gas, the stem will deflate and it will take 1d4 days before
enough spores can be produced to create this effect again. If
a Chokeshroom is dug up, it will last for 8 hours before it will
wilt and die, unless planted elsewhere where it can reroot its
mycelium. A full Chokeshroom can be dug up and harvested
with a successful Dexterity check of 15. If a creature fails this
check, the Chokeshroom will release its spores. A creature
that has proficiency with an Herbalism Kit can add their
proficiency bonus to this check.

D Dreamleaves can be ground and treated with an Herbalism
Deathshroom
Uncommon, 100gp
Deathshrooms are small ½ to 1 inch violet mushrooms
with bright lime-green heads. Deathshrooms release a
fragrance that smells deliciously edible, and are usually found
near places of death. Although Deathshrooms have an
incredibly sweet taste, they are incredibly poisonous.
Deathshrooms can be found typically in Underdark and
Jungle environments, as well as rarely at the stumps of dying
trees. A creature who ingests a Deathshroom must succeed
on a Constitution saving throw of 16 or take 3d12 poison
damage and become poisoned for 1 hour. Upon success, the
creature only takes half damage and is not poisoned.
Deathshrooms cannot be refined, however they can be
reduced into a concentrated seed of spores with an
Herbalism Kit check of 19. This is called a Deathshroom
Seed, which when planted into a corpse who has died within
24 hours, will grow 2d6 Deathshrooms from the corpse over
the course of an hour.
Dreadweed
Uncommon, 75gp
Dreadweed is a sickly-purple weed that grows at the
bottom of rotted plant matter and detritus, as well as near
graveyards and places where there have been many deaths.
As such, they can be found in nearly any Environment, but
are more common in graveyards as well as in Jungle and
Swamp environments where there is a higher concentration
of flora and fauna. If ingested, a creature must make a
Constitution saving throw of 10 or become paralyzed for 1
minute. Once a creature has become paralyzed by
Dreadweed or succeeds on their saving throw against it, they
are immune to the effects of Dreadweed for 24 hours.
Dreadweed can be treated and boiled with an Herbalism
Kit check of 19 to create Death’s Sweat. Death’s Sweat is a
thick paste that can be applied to a weapon as an action,
where it will dry after 10 minutes of application. A creature
hit by a weapon coated in Death’s Sweat must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw of 10 or become paralyzed until
the end of their next turn. Once a creature has become
paralyzed by Death’s Sweat, they are immune to its effects for
24 hours.
Dreamleaf
Uncommon, 50gp
Dreamleaves are a fern that glows a psychedelic purple and
emerald, which constantly pulses and shimmers.
Dreamleaves only grow in Forest environments touched by
magic, and are typically found near entrances to the feywild
or places that have strong ties to the feywild. If ingested, a
creature must make a constitution saving throw of 14 or be
pulled into a magical sleep for 1 hour. If the creature
succeeds, the creature sees vivid hallucinations of
afterimages of the feywild in their current surroundings for
10 minutes.
Kit check of 13 to make an intense incense. A creature who
breathes in this incense must make a Constitution saving
throw of 14 or be pulled into a deep magical sleep for 1
minute. Upon success, the creature can see vivid
hallucinations of afterimages of the feywild in their current
surroundings for 1d4 hours.
Dreamkiller
Very rare, 200gp
A cousin to the Dreamleaf, the Dreamkiller looks similar to
a Sunflower, but it’s stalk is much shorter, its petals are long
and multicolored that wave back and forth methodically, and
the center is a confluence of bright colors that sway, shimmer,
and contort. Dreamkillers are very rare and grow in intense
magical Forest environments or places that are very close to
entrances to the feywild. Any creature that can see a
Dreamkiller and is within 15 feet of it must make a Wisdom
Saving throw of 14 or become charmed by the Dreamkiller
for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, the creature must
spend their turn moving up to the Dreamkiller and must
kneel before it, where the Dreamkiller will wrap its petals
around the face of the creature and begin siphoning their
dreams and thoughts. The siphoning process takes 1 minute,
and after a portion of the creature’s dreams and thoughts
have been siphoned, the creature takes 2d10 psychic damage
and is forced into a deep, magical slumber for 1 hour. A
creature can be pulled away from the Dreamkiller as an
Action while they are being siphoned, but this will only
interrupt the process and as long as they are charmed, they
will try to kneel in front of it to finish the siphoning process.
For each victim the Dreamkiller siphons, it will grow a new
root.
A creature can harvest a root of the Dreamkiller and with
an Herbalism Kit check of 17 to create Dreaming Tea. A
creature who ingests Dreaming Tea falls into a magical
slumber for 1 hour, where they will experience the dreams
and thoughts of one of the victims of the Dreamkiller,
depending on the root. A specific root can be identified by
using the Speak with Plants spell, or by some other means of
Divination.
Drowvine
Uncommon, 65gp
Drowvine is a dark russet vine with black streaks that
grows deep underground in Underdark environments or
occasionally in deep Cavern environments. Drowvine is
mostly commonly found near Drow, as it is grown and
harvested by the Drow for their poison. If Drowvine is
subjected to sunlight, it will wither and die. If a creature
ingests Drowvine, they must succeed on a Constitution
saving throw of 10 or become poisoned for 1 hour. Drowvine
can be refined with an Herbalism Kit check of 14 to create a
poison that can be applied to a weapon as an action, which
will dry after 1 hour after being applied. Creatures subjected
to the poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving
throw or be Poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5
or more, the creature is also Unconscious while Poisoned in
this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if
another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

 Drownweed
Uncommon, 75gp
Drownweed looks like any normal seaweed with the
exception of dark purplish black veins that run through its
leaves. Drownweed commonly grows on the walls or floors of
deep sea caverns, or Underwater environments, but can
occasionally be found along Coastal environments. Any
creature who starts their turn or enters a space for the first
time on a turn within 10 feet of Drownweed must succeed on
a Dexterity saving throw of 13 or become grappled by the
Drownweed as it attempts to constrict and strangle them.
While a creature is grappled by Drownweed they are
considered Restrained and suffer 2d8 bludgeoning damage at
the start of each of their turns. A creature can attempt to
escape this grapple by using their action to attempt a
Strength (Athletics) check of 14, freeing themselves on
success, or by dealing 10 slashing damage to the
Drownweed.
It is possible to harvest the bud or heart of a Drownweed if
all of the leaves are taken care of, where the bud or heart can
be planted elsewhere to produce more deadly Drownweed.
Harvesting the heart of a Drownweed requires a Herbalism
Kit check of 16. If Drownweed is not submerged in saltwater
once every hour, it will shrivel up and die.
Druidvine
Rare, 175gp
The Druidvine is a pulsating verdant heart of vines, deeply
tied with fey magic, that only flourishes and grows when in a
beneficial symbiosis with another living being. Druidvines
only grow in places that are blooming with magical life,
natural energies, or places tied with intense druidic power,
typically in Jungle, Forest, Swamp, or Grassland
environments. Druidvines are only found on other plants, and
while a Druidvine is attached to another plant, the plant
grows twice as fast as it normally would, and bears twice as
much fruit or twice as many flowers as it normally would.
A humanoid can attempt to bond with a Druidvine by
coming into contact with the Druidvine as an Action. If the
creature knows Druidic, or has a Wisdom score of 18 or
higher, the Druidvine will detach from the plant it is attached
to, and attach to the creature if they are willing, where they
will simply wrap their vines around the spot they have chosen
to stay, typically on a shoulder or arm. While a creature has a
Druidvine attached to them, they regain one hit point every
hour spent in direct sunlight. If a Druidvine is forcibly pulled
off of a creature or plant, it will shrivel up and die instantly.
When a creature takes damage from a weapon attack while
having a Druidvine attached, the Druidvine will expand and
cover the creature in protective vines, granting the creature
1d6 + 6 temporary hit points to protect against that instance
of damage. If the creature still has these temporary hit points
from the Druidvine after this damage is dealt, the Druidvine
will receed its vines and will not be able to protect its host for
another hour. If the creature has lost these temporary hit
points from this instance of damage, the Druidvine will
wither and die. A Druidvine must be watered daily to be kept
healthy while attached to a creature, or else it will wither
away and die.

E
Elderberries
Uncommon, 35gp
These dull, cerulean colored berries grow on the underside
of boulders and rocks in patches hanging from dark green
creepers. Elderberries are roughly 2 inches in diameter and
produce a fleeting glowing light from the inside of the berry.
Elderberries only grow in areas that are dense with magical
energies, and as such, they can be found in any Environment.
Because of their innately magical nature, they are fairly rare.
If a creature eats an Elderberry they will feel magic flow
through their body, and they will be nourished for 24 hours.
An Elderberry can be boiled and refined into Elderberry
Tea with an Herbalism Kit check of 16. Elderberry Tea, when
drunk, restores an expended spell slot, up to 2nd level.
Elder Tears
Rare, 100gp
Elder Tears are a type of bell flower, usually found in
groups of 4 to 5 in areas with powerful runes, great latent
magical energy, or locations that have been subject to
significant magical phenomenon or occurrences. Elder Tears
themselves are a deep cobalt that shimmer with a faint
magical light that pulses with the heartbeat of the Weave.
Due to their growth only appearing in areas of significant
magical influence, Elder Tears can grow in any Environment
that meets one or more of these circumstances. When the
flower of an Elder Tear is ingested, the creature is met with
an overflow of magical energy and suffers 2d6 force damage
but regains an expended 1st level spell slot, if they are able to.
Elder Tears can be ground, boiled, and treated with an
Herbalism Kit check of 20 to create Elder Tear Tea. A
creature who ingests Elder Tear Tea regains an expended
spell slot, up to 3rd level, if they are able to.
Elephant Cactus
Rare, 150gp
Elephant cactus is a massive cactus that typically grows to
fit within a 5 foot cube, but some have been noted to be large
enough to fit within a 10 foot cube. Elephant Cacti have a
twisting barrel shape that is typically 4 to 12 feet in width and
height with rough flesh that is covered with 1d12 + 5 thick
spines that are 1-3 feet long. Elephant Cacti grows primarily
in Desert Environments and rarely in Coastal Environments,
and is technically a type of fungus that uses the nutrients of
corpses to spread and germinate. If a creature starts their
turn within 10 feet of an Elephant Cactus or enters a space
within for the first time on a turn within 10 feet of an
Elephant Cactus, one of the spines will shoot out at the
creature with a +7 to hit, dealing 3d10 piercing damage on
hit. If a creature is pierced by an Elephant Cactus spine they
must succeed on a Constitution saving throw of 11 or
become poisoned for 1 hour. If a creature dies while poisoned
from an Elephant Cactus, the spores from the Spine will
infuse with the dead body, creating a new Elephant Cactus
from the corpse of the creature over the course of 1d4 days.
Removing spines from an Elephant Cactus is exceedingly
difficult as it requires a method that does not involve any
creatures coming within 10 feet of the Elephant Cactus itself.
An Elephant Cactus spine can be carefully removed with a
Dexterity check of 16. A creature with proficiency in
Herbalism Kits can add their proficiency bonus to this check.
Once removed, an Elephant Cactus spine can be used as a
Shortsword, and the first time this special shortsword hits a
creature, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw of 11 or become poisoned for 1 hour. If a creature dies
while poisoned from this Elephant Cactus spine, the spores
from the Spine will infuse with the dead body, creating a new
Elephant Cactus from the corpse of the creature over the
course of 1d4 days.
F this effect if they move at half speed through Giant Spit.
Firebloom
Uncommon, 50gp
Fireblooms are small bright red marigolds that have their
colors shine and dance when sunlight hits them, making
them look akin to a burning flame when the sun is shining
upon them. Fireblooms are typically found in Desert
Environments but can be found in places with significant
volcanic activity in Mountainous Environments. If ingested, a
creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw of 12
or take 2d4 fire damage upon failure. Upon failure or
success, the creature gains resistance to Fire damage for 1
minute.
Fireblooms can be treated and boiled into Firebloom Tea
with an Herbalism Kit check of 15. A creature who ingests
Firebloom Tea gains resistance to fire damage for 1d4 hours.
Flaming Seed
Uncommon, 25gp
Flaming Seeds are 2 to 3 inch long and ½ inch wide, dark
maroon seeds buried underneath sand or dirt that sprout a
sparse, dry shrub. Outwardly, a Flaming Seed looks like a
dead bush or shrub, and requires a Nature check of 14 to
identify it as a Flaming Seed. Flaming Seeds typically grow in
Desert Environments, but they can also be found in
Mountainous Environments where there is volcanic activity.
Flaming Seeds are very volatile and if they are subjected to
any damage, they will explode, forcing every creature within 5
feet of the Flaming Seed to make a Dexterity saving throw of
10 or take 1d8 fire damage, halved on success.
With an Herbalism Kit check of 14, a creature can boil and
treat a Flaming Seed to create a Potent Flaming Seed. A
Potent Flaming Seed will only detonate if thrown, and it can
be thrown up to 30 feet away as an action. Upon impact, the
Potent Flaming Seed will explode causing each creature
within 5 feet of the point of impact to make a Dexterity saving
throw of 11 or take 2d8 fire damage, halved on success.
G
Giant Spit
Common, 5gp
Giant spit is a peculiar plant that consists of a tiny bright
verdant bulb, typically half an inch in diameter, that has
creepers that adhere themselves to a rock or boulder, found
usually at high elevations in Mountainous or Hilly
environments. Its name comes from the fact that Giant Spit
secretes a clear, viscous liquid that has a similar consistency
to mucus. A single bulb typically produces this slick material
in a 5 foot cube centered around the bulb.
A creature who moves within the area affected by Giant
Spit must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw of 10 or slip
and fall prone. A creature aware of the Giant Spit can ignore
Giant Spit, as its name suggests, is often mistaken for giant
saliva, but it can be treated and boiled with an Herbalism kit
check of 10 to create a basic adhesive.
Goat’s Horn
Common, 5gp
Goat’s Horn is a lightish yellow celadon vine that grows
and twists in the shape of a horn, typically found in
Grassland, Jungles, Forest, Swamp, and Mountainous
Environments.
Goat’s Horn is edible, with a spongy consistency and an
earthy taste, but it also can be treated and mashed with an
Herbalism kit check of 10 to create a paste that when applied
to an open wound of a dying creature, stabilizes them.
Goat’s Throat
Common, 20gp
Goat’s Throat is a small and dense collection of roots that
looks akin to a dark brown pebble that is attached to a root
system that stretches five times its size into soil underneath
it. Goat’s Throat is praised for curative and antivenom
properties, Goat’s Throat is found underground; typically in
Underdark Environments, but occasionally in caves of any
Environment. Harvesting Goat’s Throat successfully requires
for its heart to be pulled from its root system, which requires
a Strength check of 10 or higher to do so. A creature
proficient with an Herbalism Kit can add their proficiency
bonus to this check.
When a creature ingests Goat’s Throat, they must succeed
on a Constitution saving throw of 10 or become incapacitated
until the start of their next turn as they retch uncontrollably,
purging themselves of any nonmagical poisons. If Goat’s
Throat is boiled and treated with an Herbalism Kit check of
12, the Goat’s Throat can then be ingested without any
negative side effects, simply curing the creature of any
nonmagical poisons.
