Blooming Guide to Genshin Impact Flowers: Locations, Lore, and More!
So, you’re wandering through Teyvat, and suddenly your inventory is flower-less. Don’t panic! Flowers in Genshin Impact matter. They help with cooking, character ascension, and quests. Let’s explore the world of Genshin to keep your inventory full of petals.
Sweet Flowers: The Everyday Bloom
Sweet Flowers are everywhere. They’re found in grassy spots throughout Teyvat. Unlike boring weeds in my garden, these blooms are useful.
Need a quick restock? Hit up Flora!
Flora runs the
Vanarana’s Floral Glitch (in a good way!)
Heard the rumor about Sweet Flowers respawning in Vanarana? It’s true. During the “Giving Flowers” quest, if you pick Sweet Flowers before guiding Varsha, don’t worry. Those same Sweet Flowers will respawn when Varsha arrives. It’s floral hospitality!
Sweet Madame: The Flower-Powered Feast
What to do with all these Sweet Flowers? Make Sweet Madame! This dish is classic and requires Sweet Flowers. Stock up, cook up, and keep your party happy. Or at least, not starving.
Beyond Sweet Flowers: A Teyvat Flower Expedition
Sweet Flowers are just the start. Let’s explore more unique and useful blooms in Teyvat.
Silk Flowers: Liyue’s Luxurious Blooms
For elegance, look for Silk Flowers. They grow in pairs on red bushes in Liyue. Specifically, find them at Wangshu Inn and Yujing Terrace. Scenic views and flowers abound!
Silk Flower Shopping Spree
You can buy Silk Flowers from:
- Verr Goldet at Wangshu Inn. She’s the innkeeper and knows local flora.
- Ms. Bai in Qingce Village. She’s a local expert on these blooms.
- Qiuwei in Port Ormos (Sumeru). Silk Flowers are globally traded!
Silk Flowers respawn 48 hours after picking. Plan your flower runs wisely.
Cecilia: Venti’s Beloved Bloom
Cecilias are special. They are favorites of
Cecilia Hotspot: Starsnatch Cliff
Starsnatch Cliff is where you find Cecialias growing wild. It’s worth the trip for both the flowers and the view. Just watch out for hilichurls who don’t pick nicely.
Cecilia on Sale
Flora also sells Cecilias. If climbing sounds tough, pop by her shop for an easy buy. Cecilias take 48 hours to respawn. Venti’s favorites demand patience!
Windwheel Aster: Mondstadt’s Whimsical Flower
Windwheel Asters spin joyfully in the breeze. They also respawn after 48 hours. Nature has a rhythm.
Windwheel Aster Shopping (Flora!)
Short on Windwheel Asters? Flora’s got you covered again. She’s the floral monopoly of Mondstadt, and we appreciate her!
Romaritime Flower: Fontaine’s Aquatic Beauty
Fontaine hosts the Romaritime Flower, an ethereal blue bloom from the 4.0 update. They thrive underwater in Salacia Plain and can also be found near shores across Fontaine.
Romaritime Flower Vendors in Fontaine
Need to buy these flowers? Fontaine has two vendors:
- Hinterman near Poisson’s entrance in Mont Automnequi sells 5 for 1,000 Mora each.
- Xana’s location is unlisted, but keep an eye out!
Cor Lapis: Wait, Is That a Flower? (It’s a Mineral!)
Cor Lapis isn’t a flower. It’s a mineral. Consider it a rock flower! Find it, especially under cliffs in Liyue. Mt. Hulao is prime Cor Lapis territory!
Cor Lapis on the Market
You can buy Cor Lapis from:
- Changshun in Liyue Harbor near the main city waypoint sells five.
- Fengtai in Chenyu Vale is another good source.
- Qiuwei in Port Ormos has these shiny rocks, also.
Cor Lapis respawns every 2 to 3 days. It takes longer to respawn than flowers. Geo damage speeds mining up. Claymores work too, but Geo is thematically fitting.
Its orange color helps you spot Cor Lapis against rocks. Happy hunting!
Sakura Bloom: Electro Required!
Sakura Blooms from Inazuma are unique. They can’t be bought anywhere. Forage only! You need an Electro ability to collect them. Bring an Electro character like Traveler, Lisa, or Raiden Shogun for Sakura Bloom hunts.
Violetgrass: Cliffside Purple Power
Violetgrass grows on cliff sides all over Liyue. It’s vital for Baizhu, Qiqi, and Xinyan’s ascension. These flowers are key for character power-ups!
Padisarah: Sumeru’s Rare Beauty
Padisarahs are the rarest flowers in Sumeru. If you find one, you’re lucky! Or start farming effectively.
Kalpalata Lotus: Lotus on a Vine
Kalpalata Lotuses respawn in 2 days. Only one seller stocks five. They can’t be farmed in the Serenitea Pot. Exclusive and elusive!
Withering Purpurbloom: Co-op for the Cure
Withering Purpurblooms respawn every 48 hours. Use co-op play for efficient gathering. Teamwork makes flower picking faster!
Flower-Loving NPCs: Meet the Floral Experts
Flora: The Mondstadt Flower Mogul
Flora owns
Chloris: Flora’s Wandering Sister
Chloris is an NPC in Mondstadt’s Windrise area. She’s Flora’s sister, selling different flowers and berries. Is it sibling rivalry or complementary strategies?
Varsha: The Vanarana Gardener
Varsha starts southwest of Vanarana. After the “Giving Flowers” quest, she moves to Vanarana Nursery. She’s essential for that Sweet Flower respawn trick.
Flower-Themed Quests and Items: Petals and Plot
Giving Flowers: The Respawn Quest
The “Giving Flowers” world quest reveals Varsha and includes the Sweet Flower respawn trick. Completing it finishes Part III of the “Varuna Gatha” Forest Adventure Journal.
Bag of Flower Seeds: Takashi’s Treasure
The Bag of Flower Seeds comes from Takashi’s chests on Kannazuka (Inazuma). Open one chest twice for this item. Note: they’re *not* for gardening in the Serenitea Pot.
Orb of the Blue Depths: Chasm Challenge Reward
The Orb of the Blue Depths comes from defeating Shadowy Husks in The Chasm: Underground Mines. What it has to…
What to do with flowers? Mysteries exist! (Editor’s note: More research is needed on flower connections. Possible symbolism?)
Withered Kusava: Agnihotra Sutra Item
The Withered Kusava is a quest item in “The Final Chapter” of the Agnihotra Sutra quest in Sumeru. Another item, another floral mystery. (Editor’s note: Once more, flower connection unclear. A deep lore dive might help).
Flower Preferences and Symbolism: Blooms and Backstories
Cecilia: The Favored Flower
Cecilias are loved by Lisa and Venti. Venti decorates his lyre with them. Clearly, Cecilias are the Genshin equivalent of roses, wind-themed versions.
Lumine’s Flower: Traveler’s Bloom
If you chose Lumine, you get Inteyvat. Its stems are a darker purplish-blue. The central part shifts color based on Lumine’s attuned element. Hydro? Deep blue. Geo? Golden yellow. Fashionable and element-reactive.
Dandelion: Freedom and Fluff
Dandelions, those common Mondstadt fluff balls, express “the romantic spirit of love and freedom.” Deep stuff, indeed.
Respawn Rundown: Nature’s Clock
Quick respawn info:
- Common plants (like Sweet Flowers, Berries, Carrots) and Iron Chunks respawn in 24 hours. Daily refresh.
- White Iron Chunks and Local Specialties (including most flowers): 48 hours. Schedule your farming every other day.
Character Ascension and Sweet Madame: Flower Power in Action
Fun fact: you need 168 local specialties for full character ascension to level 90. That is a lot of flowers (or minerals, or whatever Cor Lapis is!). Start farming early!
And remember Sweet Madame? If cooked with Rosaria, it might yield “Dinner of Judgment,” a special dish. Flower-powered cooking mixed with judgment. Interesting.
Feeling adventurous in the kitchen? The Pita Pocket recipe unlocks after the Archon Quest “Silent Seeker of Knowledge” in Sumeru. Not directly about flowers, but food is essential, and flowers sometimes appear in food. Circle of life?
So here it is! Your detailed, slightly humorous, and helpful guide to flowers in Genshin Impact. Now explore Teyvat, and pick those petals like a pro! Happy blooming!
