- "Hello, class! Notice any particularly enticing smells today? I know what you're thinking, I'm not trying out a new perfume today. What you're smelling is the subject of today's lesson... the Flutterby Bush! Let's start with a practical overview of caring for the Flutterby bush."
- — Professor Pomona Sprout to her sixth-year Herbology students[src]
The Flutterby Bush was a magical plant that quivered and shook. It produced flowers once a century that adapted their scent to attract the unwary.[1]
History[]
Jacob's sibling watering a Flutterby bush in Herbology
Sixth-year students in Herbology at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were taught how to prune these bushes in the 1989–1990 school year by Professor Pomona Sprout.[2]
During the 1994–1995 school year at Hogwarts, fourth-years were taught instead how to prune these bushes in Herbology.[3]
In 1997, Molly Weasley planted two Flutterby Bush in the garden at The Burrow in preparation for the wedding of her son, Bill, to Fleur Delacour.[4]
