The wastelands of Fallout 76 are filled with various vegetation that you can use to craft drinks and meals to help you survive.

Soot Flower locations in Fallout 76
Similar to other vegetation like Razorgrain, Soot Flowers can be found all over the map but are most commonly found in the Forest and Mire regions, but some can be found in the Cranberry Bog region. You can identify Soot Flowers thanks to their blue color which helps them stand out against the normal flora of the forests.
