Winter Seeds are a type of Crafted seed. The crafting recipe is labeled "Wild Seeds (Wi)", but when crafted, the result is "Winter Seeds." Mature plants yield, at random, a Crocus, Crystal Fruit, Snow Yam, or Winter Root.

Winter Seeds are one of the season-specific crafted wild seeds, along with Spring Seeds, Summer Seeds, and Fall Seeds that produce crops normally found as forage. While Farming Skill normally increases the chance to grow a quality crop, Foraging Skill increases the chance to grow a quality crop from Winter Seeds. Choosing the Botanist profession will ensure iridium-quality crops grown from Winter Seeds.

Crows do not attack crops grown from Winter Seeds, so the use of Scarecrows is unnecessary.

Gallery

Wild Seeds from any season may appear similar to dead crops during Stage 2 of growth.

Bugs

On Ginger Island, mature Winter Seeds may destroy the tilled soil (and fertilizer), leaving untilled soil in their place after harvest.

History

1.4: Can be used in the Tea Sapling recipe.
1.5: Bugfix for stages of growth with Agriculturist + Deluxe Fertilizer.
1.5.6: Dirt under freshly grown seasonal forage seeds no longer disappears randomly, except on Ginger Island.
1.6: Now a prize for the SquidFest festival.

-Because the forage is spawned as items rather than being "harvested", a mature plant grown from a Summer Seeds is different to other crops. Firstly, it will be affected by the [[Botanist]] profession perk. Secondly, it will not be considered "in the ground" on the last day of its growth and may leave untilled soil in its place, and any fertilizer used will be lost in this case.
