DAY 18
Asphodel (also known as Royal Staff) is a member of the lily family and has long and slender leaves. It is found worldwide, and was known to grow in the Hogwarts grounds. The plant was not native to Great Britain or Ireland, and required special, well-drained soil to grow. Muggles used to believe the plant grew in the underworld. Sixteen known types of the plant existed, each with their own needs.
Asphodel (Asphodelus ramosus) is a relative of the lily and native to Europe.
The ancient Greeks associated it with the death and the underworld, believing there was a meadow of asphodel in Elysian Fields, and considered it sacred to Persephone, goddess of the spring and queen of the underworld. Asphodel was once believed to be a favourite food of the dead, and so was commonly planted near graves.
