- "A common garden plant that is known to bite or attack if not taken care of. Its fangs are used in many simple potions and in cooking."
- —Description on seed packet at Dogweed and Deathcap.[src]
A Fanged Geranium is a magical flower with sharp teeth.[1][2] Its fangs are used as potion ingredients, as well as in wizarding foodstuffs.[3]
Harry Potter received a minor bite from one during his O.W.L. exam for Herbology.[1]
There is widespread historical speculation that the Muggle War of the Roses actually started with wizarding neighbours arguing over a Fanged Geranium.[4]
Fanged Geraniums were mentioned in an advertisement for the Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots radio show that was printed in Rumours!. The ad copy asked, "Fanged Geranium nothing but gums?"[2]
Fanged Geranium seeds are sold at Dogweed and Deathcap.[3]
