Dwarf Weed
Dwarf weed is a type of herb found in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). It is primarily used in Herblore for making potions, particularly those that boost combat stats and restore health.
Identification
Dwarf weed can be identified by its thick, dense leaves and distinctive green and yellow coloration. The plant typically grows in various environments but is most commonly found in the Karamja area and near the ruins of the Tree Gnome Stronghold.

You can grow dwarf weed by planting dwarf weed seeds in a herb patch. To plant them, you need to have level 65 Farming and the appropriate seeds. The harvestable mature plant will yield 1-3 dwarf weed herbs, depending on your Farming level and other bonuses.

When harvesting dwarf weed, players can expect a higher yield with higher Farming levels. Players may also use gardening tools to assist in the farming process, such as spades to till the soil. It is essential to check for disease when farming, as it can affect the growth rate and yield.
