They help grow seeds faster and can greatly organize your plants. I know, wiki is a little grey on that subject.

You have to actually plant seeds in them. Placing them down and leaving them will just make them grow a random assortment of flowers that have no use.

Fireblossums are one of the few plants where their seeds can only be harvested under certain conditions.

Really? Do herbs grow faster in Planter Boxes as opposed to Clay Pots or standard blocks?


My standard herb farm never contains clay pots or planter boxes.... just a long string of dirt/grass/ebonstone/snow/sand/ash ... which allows for industrial collection of plants with one click of a weapon (best to use a gun that has no firing arc, not a pickaxe), and then using Smart Cursor to replant them all.

I go through lots of daybloom.
