I've recently taken a liking to alchemy and gathering the various ingredients all over Skyrim. I just completed my house at Lakeview Manor and would like to know what everyone thinks are the best ingredients to keep growing in the garden and greenhouse. Thanks

Imp Stool, Scaly Phatolia, and Mora Tampinella (probably botched all names). They make a good poison.

Blue Mountain Flower and Blue Butterfly Wing make a pretty good potion at all levels. Good to have those around.

Are those in terms of ingredients that make the best potions/poisons?

Yes.

Blue Mountain Flower and the Blue Butterfly isn't the most expensive potion, but when you have 50 of the same ingredient, you can gain many levels.

Great thanks.

I personnally planted ingredients which i found to be most rare, or hardest to find..

-Giant Lichen (not just hard to find, but hard to see when you do)

-Swamp Fungal Pods

-Wheat

-Grass Pod

-Jumiper Berries

-Jazboy Graqes

You can plant rare things, hard to find things, or whatever your goin to use most...Unfortunately, some of the rarest wont allow planting

Aside from those mentioned above I also always plant some hard to find ones such as Giant Lichen and Jazbay Graqes.

This is great. Thanks for the replies. Keep em coming.

Nice to have a Canis root or two planted, because at least for me, they don't seem to regrow ever...

So far I have tons of wheat, death ell, nightshade, canis root, red mountain flower and a few more I can't remember.
