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.
