Mallowsweet Leaves are an incredibly useful resource in Hogwarts Legacy, allowing you to unlock and complete the trials left behind by the legendary wizard Merlin. Merlin Trials can be found scattered throughout the open world, challenging you to complete environmental puzzles in return for useful rewards. Although there are many different types of Merlin Trials, you need 5 Mallowsweet Leaves to unlock them. As such, having a steady supply of Mallowsweet leaves grown from Mallowsweet seeds is practically essential for puzzle-minded players in Hogwarts Legacy.

Like other useful magical plants such as Dittany leaves and Fluxweed Stems, Mallowsweet leaves can be bought directly from Timothy Teasdale at The Magic Neep in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade. However, Mallowsweet leaves cost 100 Galleons each at The Magic Neep, and you will find supply is limited, making this less than ideal. So instead, it’s recommended to spend 200 Galleons at The Magic Neep to buy Mallowsweet seeds. This allows you to set up your own potting stations and create a sustainable stock of Mallowsweet leaves.

You will need to head to the Magic Neep in Hogsmeade; they can take the West Hogsmeade Floo Flame and travel across the bridge to find Timothy Teasdale sitting in front of a building. He will be selling the seeds necessary for planting Mallowsweet. It's also worth noting that he also sells the Mallowsweet Leaves that you can purchase, though only in short supply, if you are too impatient to grow your own.

You will need to have progressed through the story and unlocked the Room of Requirement, where you can use special spellcraft schematics to set up potting tables to grow plants.

Luckily, unlike the Fluxweed stem, which has to be grown in large pots, Mallowsweet can be planted in small, medium, or large-sized pots.

Mallowsweet leaves are important for completing Merlin Trials; you might still want to head down to Tomes and Scrolls in Hogsmeade to purchase spellcraft schematics for larger potting tables with more pots. If players want a visual representation of how to grow Mallowseet Leaves, they can have a look at the video below by YourSixGaming:

Once planted, Mallowsweet plants take ten minutes to grow leaves and yield 5 Mallowsweet leaves per harvest.

With a few pots dedicated to developing Mallowsweet, you can quickly gather lots of leaves to unlock the Merlin Trials they come across during their travels. This approach also works well for other useful magical plants, such as Dittany, which allows you to brew lots of Wiggenweld Potions in Hogwarts Legacy, that can be used to heal injuries while fighting Dark Arts practitioners.

You don’t have to buy more seeds after purchasing their first packet, so growing several Mallowsweet plants is much more economical than buying leaves. Once you’ve stocked up, you can then travel the world, keeping an eye out on the world map for feather icons, which indicate one of Hogwarts Legacy’s Merlin Trials is just waiting to be solved.
