Violet Snowdrop is a plant that grows in colder climates in Red Dead Redemption 2, and players can use it for a few different purposes. To collect a lot of Violet Snowdrop, players will need to travel to the northern parts of the map, but finding it can be tricky. Violet Snowdrop is a small, short plant with violet-colored flowers at the top. It can be hard to spot at first, especially in snowy areas, but there are a few reliable locations to search for this plant.
As with other plants and herbs in Red Dead Redemption 2, such as oregano, Violet Snowdrop has a few uses that can benefit players. The Violet Snowdrop plant can be sold in Red Dead Redemption 2, but players will only receive between $6 and $12 for each plant if they have neutral honor. The prices increase by 50% with high honor and decrease by 50% with low honor. Aside from earning small amounts of money, Violet Snowdrop can also be eaten or used for cooking or crafting, which allows players to obtain more valuable items to sell.
There are three main uses for Violet Snowdrop, the first being to increase the stamina core by eating it. However, players can also use Violet Snowdrop to make Special Bitters or Potent Herbivore Bait. Special Bitters will recover and fortify the player's stamina, while Potent Herbivore Bait is used for hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2. Using Violet Snowdrop for Potent Herbivore Bait will help players attract higher quality game that can be sold for more than the plant is worth.
