How many flowers are there in Minecraft?

Minecraft 1.21.8 has 21 flowers — small (one-block) flowers like the dandelion, poppy, and tulips, plus tall (two-block) flowers like the sunflower, lilac, rose bush, and peony.

What are flowers used for in Minecraft?

Every flower can be crafted into a dye, small flowers can be brewed into Suspicious Stew for a status effect, bees pollinate them, and they're a key decorative and bone-meal-farmable plant.

Which flower gives the best Suspicious Stew effect?

It depends what you want: oxeye daisy gives Regeneration, allium gives Fire Resistance, poppy and torchflower give Night Vision, and cornflower gives Jump Boost. Tulips give Weakness and the wither rose gives the Wither effect, so avoid those unless intended.

All Minecraft Flowers

Every flower in Minecraft, with the dye it makes, its Suspicious Stew effect, its height, and where it grows. Small flowers can be brewed into stew; the tall two-block flowers can't.

What flowers are used for

Flowers have four main uses. Every flower can be crafted into a dye for coloring wool, terracotta, glass, beds, and more. Small flowers can be combined with a bowl and a mushroom recipe into Suspicious Stew, which grants the status effect shown above. Bees pollinate flowers to produce honey, and flowers are a renewable plant you can decorate with or grow in bulk with bone meal.

Small vs. tall (two-block) flowers

The sunflower, lilac, rose bush, peony, and pitcher plant are tall flowers — they occupy two blocks and can only be duplicated with bone meal, not used in Suspicious Stew. Every other flower is a one-block plant. Tall flowers still craft into dye (two dye per flower).
