Death Flowers are unique. They have no monetary value, I guess no one wants them. This is crazy given how powerful they are. When the grim reaper approaches and a death flower is in your Sim's inventory, the Sim will exchange it for their life! Holding a few death flowers and using life-extending tricks like Ambrosia, Life Fruit, Young Again LTR and Alchemy potions can effectively make a Sim immortal.
As you can see, Death Flowers are only harvested once before the plant dies.
Finding Death Flowers
Death Flowers can be found in two easy ways:
- Search our site for special seed locations in each town. Many forum members have provided these spawn points on the various Expansion Pack boards.
- Many graveyards have death flowers ready for harvest. If they aren't quite harvestable, wait until 5am the next day and check back!
Share locations of special seeds and harvestable death flower.

say you die as an adult and use the death flower to be brought back, does it bring you back to the beginning of adult status?

There is also the buydebug cheat, which allows you to place multiple mature plants for free. I have 14 death flowers for one family right now, I'm passing them down each generation until I find a sim I really like!

I found the way to keep the original deathflower bush alive while havivng more than one in my private gardenwithout any cheats.....'analize the harvestable'on the plant with the science analize beam this does not do any harm to it , clone from sample and plant the flower, result is your very own deathflower bush.

If you go to the cheat box and type in buyDeBug and then go to furniture and then organize by function, there is a question mark, click on it and then I believe it's like the 4th tab over and it says "gardening plants and seed spawners. You just go through there and read and find where it says death plant. then click on it and place a few and there you have it!

In sims 3 Ambitions you can make your sim master the inventing skill and make a time machine and if you travel in the future you can get a death flower seed

do you know if the fairy hidden train green thumb and super green thumb stack or is getting them for a fairy a waste of a slot ?

With the "green thumb" trait, you have the option to revive the death flower plant, which gives you the chance to harvest one more flower per plant life cycle.

Does the Death Flower work on Pets if you have the expansion pack?

If you are immortal by having a death flower in your inventory, how do you become normal again?

My sims had 2 death flowers in her inventory but when the grim reaper came, I had no way of getting into her inventory to give it to the grim reaper. Is there a specific way to do this.

I'm having this same issue. all my Sims die of old age regardless of whether or not they hold the death flower. I don't see any way to interact with the death character either with the dying SIM or another SIM nearby who also holds a death flower. it's frustrating as I have read that you can save old age Sims this way.

You don't do anything, and in my experience it's only for sims who die young. Before you shake his hand, a message will come up saying 'For me? It's so pretty! I'll go put it in a vase right away' of something like that. Chasing Grim around your house won't do anything because you're already a ghost.

I have no idea how but a death flower just randomly appeared in my sims inventory, all they had done since I last looked at his inventory is send him to work then fishing! lol :D

There's another way to get death flowers, though I don't know if it works for all Sims. One of my Sims is a master gardener and already had one death flower. She witnessed the deaths of her parents and two other people, and on two of these occasions she got another death flower. I wonder if anyone else has had that happen?
