Flower (2024)

Flowers
Sanity Boost	+5 when picked
Resources
Spawns
Renewable?	Yes
Common Biomes	Grassland Forest
DebugSpawn	"flower"

Flowers are found in Grasslands, Forests, or Savannas. They cannot be found in Marshes or Rockyland. When picked, they restore 5 Sanity and produce Petals, which, when eaten, restore 1 Health. There are 10 different kinds of Flowers, but they all have the same effect.

Flowers serve a variety of purposes. Picking 12 of them for their Petalsallows the creation of aGarland, which provides a Sanityboost over time in addition to the 5 Sanity gained from picking each Flower. This is especially useful early on in the game.

Flowers also spawnButterflies,which can be killed for their Butterfly Wings or Butter,orbe captured in aBug Net. Captured Butterflies can be planted anywhere to produce a new Flower, thus making each of these items renewable. Homeless Beescanalso produce Flowers over time, after pollinating 6 Flowers. Many Flowers can be planted together to build a Butterfly farm, an area where Butterflies can easily be killed for their wings. Large groups of Flowers are also useful forHoneyproduction. BuildingBee Boxesnear such fields increases the speed at which the Bees produce Honey.

In the Shipwrecked DLC, regular Flowers can be found in Jungle and Meadow Biomes, while Evil Flowers can be found around Regular Jungle Trees. They may also spawn from spending Dubloons at the Slot Machine, making them renewable in a another way.

Don't Starve Together

In Don't Starve Together, a Ghost Character can haunt a regular Flower to turn it into an Evil Flower.

Cultivation

Flower

Flowers can be manually cultivated by planting living Butterflies. Using a Bug Net to capture any number of Butterflies, the player can right click them on the ground to plant them as they would plant Pine Cones or Grass Tufts. One Butterfly can be planted to create one Flower in a location of the player's choosing. The physical area occupied by the Flower is very small, allowing for densely planted Flower gardens.

Cultivation of Flowers is of interest because of their Sanity bonus when picked and use for Crafting the Garland and the Pretty Parasol (Found in the Reign of Giants DLC), however the long term use of cultivation is the creation of efficient Honey farms through the use of Bee Boxes, for which an ample supply of Flowers is necessary.

Because Flowers spawn Butterflies, cultivation of a large Flower bed can usually proceed very quickly, provided the player has sufficient materials to build new Bug Nets.

Evil Flower

Using Evil Flowers is the only way to acquire Nightmare Fuel without fighting Shadow Creatures, harvesting large numbers ofBeardlings, or resurrecting at a Touch Stone, requiring lowering Sanity to dangerously low levels or using the expensiveNightmare Amulet; and going underground to theRuinsto mine statues when theNightmare Cycleis at its peak, which is even more dangerous than the choices above ground. For this reason, it may be of interest for players to cultivate Evil Flowers as a means of supplementing their supply of Nightmare Fuel. Unlike normalFlowers, Evil Flowers cannot be manually planted. Instead, it is necessary to employBeesto cause additional Evil Flowers to spawn.

The player should begin by crafting aBug Netand capturing some number of Bees. Once captured, these bees become "homeless" and will not return to their hive. After releasing these bees near some existing Evil Flowers, they will begin to visit them as they would normally. It is also necessary for the player to be near the area the bees are working, since the bee's AI routine will not run if the player is too far away.

Bees must visit 6 different flowers before they can plant another flower. The flower that is planted will depend upon which type of flowers the 6 were, so as soon as you have 6 evil flowers in the areait is a good idea toeliminate any normal flowers so the evil flower chance becomes 100%.Most often the bee will plant the flower after the6th flower is visited, but there is a small chance it will visit another flower or land without planting. Clearing the area of trees, grass etc. will also make it easier to spot newly spawned Evil Flowers.

Trivia

• Evil Flowers were introduced in theA Little Rain Must Fallupdate.
• Ferns were added in the It's not a rock! update.
• Succulents were added in the Against the Grain update.
• Evil Flowers resemble stylized flowers that can sometimes be found adorning fabrics and wallpaper, and whichcan be faintly seen on Maxwell's walls in some oftheWilliam Carter Puzzleimages.
• Ferns were originally green.
• As Willow, standing close to a burning Evil Flower will cause Sanity to drop, despite Fire usually raising Willow's sanity. This is because Evil Flowers drain Sanity faster than fire restores it.
• If a player dies from picking a Rose, their death will be listed in the Morgue as being caused by a Flower.
• In each A New Reign update, there would be a number of roses scattered around the information poster depending on the update number. This is probably symbolic of Charlie as the new shadow queen.
• According to Wickerbottom, the roses seen in the game are the cultivar Rosa sp. 'MACdub', also known as the Dublin Bay Rose.
