Violet Snowdrop is a vendible good in Red Dead Redemption. They are a type of plant that the player can harvest and sell to merchants for money, or can be used by the player to create other valuable and useful items, such as medicines.
Description
Leaf plants are violet flowers on green bushes. They look roughly like potted plants in the ground. They are found in the Northern (or snowy) parts of Tall Trees, best found in and around Nekoti Rock. They are generally found isolated in the snow, making them somewhat difficult to differentiate from other plants of similar shape and size.
Strategy
If the player is attempting to complete Survivalist Challenge #10, it is worth buying a Survivalist Map as Violet Snowdrops are very difficult to spot in any light.
When collecting these plants, it is a good idea to keep the Buffalo Rifle or Semi-auto Shotgun handy and be full on dead eye, in case a Grizzly Bear shows up.

Glitches
There is a glitch where a Violet Snowdrop disappears and reappears constantly. The effect tends to occur quickly, making it impossible for players to complete the collecting process. If you follow the road north from Manzanita Post and follow the bend to the right, the road crosses the rail track. Just after this on the grass to the right side of the road you will find this plant. There is also a Hummingbird Sage located slightly west north-west of this Violet Snowdrop further up on the same hillside and another beside a fence leading away from the road on the right (after following the road north from Manzanita Post) in a roughly North-South direction.
