- "Today you will encounter the plant known as Flitterbloom. It has swaying vines that neither flit nor bloom. It's best not to ask questions."
- — Professor Pomona Sprout introducing this plant to fourth-year Herbology students[src]
Flitterbloom was a magical plant that apparently had long, swaying tentacles.[1][3]
Description[]
It bore a superficial resemblance to the deadly plant Devil's Snare,[1][2] but was harmless, so much so that wizards and witches kept it as an indoor plant or grew it in their gardens.[2]
History[]
During the 1987–1988 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the plant was studied in fourth-year Herbology classes taught by Professor Pomona Sprout.[3]
Miriam Strout, a Healer at St Mungo's, mistook the potted cutting of Devil's Snare sent to Broderick Bode at Christmas 1995 for Flitterbloom.[1][2]
Georgina Smyth wrote in to Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots asking how she should treat a dead Flitterbloom that she had not watered in months, which she intended to use in a potion, that even after threatening with curses, it would not revive. The show's host Tilden Toots responded to her in a letter that using a combination of his Regerminating Potion and Rejuicing Potion would be sufficient in reviving the dead plant.[4]
