History

Jacob's sibling watering a Flutterby bush-league in Herbology

Sixth-year students in Herbology at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were taught how to clip these bushes in the 1989–1990 school yr by Professor Pomona Sprout.^[2]

During the 1994–1995 schoolhouse year at Hogwarts, fourth-years were taught instead how to prune these bushes in Herbology.^[3]

In 1997, Molly Weasley planted two Flutterby bushes in the garden at The Couch in preparation for the wedding of her son, Neb, to Fleur Delacour.^[4]
