A grimy snapdragon is a herb that has not yet been cleaned to make a clean snapdragon. Grimy snapdragons may be grown from a snapdragon seed with a Farming level of 62, giving 98.5 experience for every snapdragon grown. Once planted, the herb takes 80 minutes to fully grow. It is possible to grow 3-18 snapdragons from one seed or 5-24 if using supercompost and magic secateurs.

Cleaning a grimy snapdragon requires a Herblore level of 59 and gives 11.8 Herblore experience. Clean snapdragons are used to make super restore potions and sanfew serums with a Herblore level of 63 and 65 respectively.

They are received as a drop from some high levelled monsters like General Graardor. 1-3 grimy snapdragons are a possible reward from the Gnome Restaurant minigame, or from burning vyre corpses in the Columbarium under Paterdomus. They are also a reward from trading in 10 Agility arena tickets from the Brimhaven Agility Arena.

Farming

Grimy snapdragon can be harvested from snapdragon plants grown in a herb patch. A fully grown snapdragon will yield a minimum of three grimy snapdragon at harvest. When picked, each grimy snapdragon gives 98.5 Farming experience.

Harvest yields for snapdragon plants are determined by a "harvest lives" system. Each snapdragon plant begins with 3 lives. Additional lives are added with the use of compost (+1 life), supercompost (+2 lives) and ultracompost (+3 lives). Every harvest action will roll a chance out of 255 on the specific patch's "Chance to Save", taking one of the harvest lives from the patch if it does not hit; the patch will be cleared when it runs out of lives. The "Chance to Save" is dependent on the player's Farming level.
