Blue Mountain Flower

One of the most common flowers in Skyrim – a reliable early ingredient for healing potions.

Blue Mountain Flower grows along roads and in towns all over Skyrim, which makes it one of the first ingredients most players pick. It’s worth only a couple of gold, but Restore Health and Fortify Health on the same flower make it a staple for early healing potions.
