Hogwarts Legacy is coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 soon. As such, new players may find themselves in the world of Hogwarts. Upon entering, they might themselves wondering: What plants can I find in the game, and what do they do? Here is our guide to the Plants in Hogwarts Legacy, from what they are to what they do, and even where players can find them.
Hogwarts Legacy Guide – Plants
Herbology is one of the various subjects offered at Hogwarts, and as such, it plays a role in this game. Players have access to various plants in Hogwarts Legacy, each with their own distinct effects. Be it for crafting potions, or for combat uses, it’s always a good idea to be stocked up in plants.
Players unlock the ability to plant and harvest crops after finishing Main Quest 12: Herbology Class. This quest rewards players with Dittany seeds, as well as potting tables. There are three sizes of potting tables (small, medium, and large), and the plants must be planted in the correct potting tables. If you have a large potting table, however, you can plant any of the plants there.
Players can categorize the plants they can find in the game into Potion Plants and Combat Plants. let’s go through each one.
Combat Plants
As the name implies, these plants are purely for combat. Whether it’s to deal damage to enemies or to debuff them for a little while, you will want to know what each of these plants does.
Mandrakes: Just like in the movies, players can pull out mandrakes from the ground, which will make them scream. This stuns enemies, making it easier to attack them.
Seeds can be bought from Dogweed and Deathcap in Hogsmeade for 800G
Must be planted in large potting tables.
Chinese Chomping Cabbage: As the name implies, these cabbages chomp at enemies, dealing damage. You can throw it at them, and combo your spells to deal even more damage.

Now that you know what plants you can get, let’s talk about where to get them. There are various ways to getting plants in Hogwarts Legacy, so let’s go through each one
Growing them yourself: Players can grow their own plants, granted they have the seeds. Players can plant their seeds either in the Room of Requirement’s Potting Stations, or in the Herbology Greenhouses.
Foraging: As with most plants, you will most likely be able to find some in the wild. Chances are these plants regrow after harvest, so come back after a while to get some more.
Purchasing: Players have access to a shop in Hogsmeade, which sells various items, including plants and seeds.
