Journeyman Herbs

• Briarthorn [70] - (used for Elixir of Wisdom, Lesser Healing Potion, Rage Potion, Strong Troll's Blood Potion and Swiftness Potion) Found in: Finding this plant will be a pain in the ass as you will need a lot of it for healing potions. Best place still, even with all the competition of other herbalists, is the Barrens.
  Briarthorn grows always around trees.
  
• Swiftthistle [-] - (used for Elixir of Lesser Agility, Elixir of Minor Agility, Holy Protection Potion, Swiftness Potion, Swim Speed Potion) Found in: This herb is found along with Mageroyal and Briarthorn in the same plants, so the Barrens is the best place for it.

Expert Herbs

• Liferoot [150] - (used for Greater Healing Potion, Mighty Troll's Blood Potion and Nature Protection Potion) Found in: Stranglethorn Vale and Wetlands are nice places for Liferoot, also I found quite some in Arathi Highlands while leveling. Liferoot always grows at the edges of lakes.
  
• Fadeleaf [160] - (used for Catseye Elixir, Elixir of Detect Lesser Invisibility, Lesser Invisibility Potion and Shadow Oil) Found in: A nice place for this were either Arathi Highlands or Stranglethorn Vale for me. Also in Scarlet Monastery you can find some; this herb in general is somewhat rare but as far as I remember it grows around little bushes. Fadeleaf is found in quantity in the Badlands, it will grow next to cacti.

Artisan Herbs

• Firebloom [205] - (used for Goblin Rocket Fuel, Oil of Immolation and Philosopher's Stone) Found in: Badlands and Tanaris are nice places for this flower, it grows all over hot, dusty, dry areas.
  
• Wildvine [-] - (used for Wildvine Potion) Found in: Ok this herb does not have its own plant, though you can find it sometimes on Purple Lotus plants. Else you get this plant as a drop from Troll mobs. Best places to hunt for it are in Stranglethorn Vale (Skullsplitter Trolls) and in The Hinterlands (Whitebark Trolls).
  
• Purple Lotus [210] - (used for Dreamless Sleep Potion, Elixir or Dream Vision, Magic Resistance Potion, Philosopher's Stone and Wildvine Potion) Found in: Stranglethorn Vale and Tanaris are good places to find this herb. It grow mostly around stone-ruins. Also there is some Purple Lotus in the Badlands, one right outside of Uldaman and one at a fallen column surrounded by lesser rock elementals, west of Lotwil Veriatus.
  
• Sungrass [230] - (used for Elixir of Giants, Elixir of Greater Agility, Elixir of Superior Defense, Invisibility Potion, Superior Healing Potion and Mana Potion) Found in: Best place for this plant is Hinterlands I find. Grows all over grass-area and is hard to see, you will have to move around your mousepointer to find it. Feralas is a good place too.
  
• Blindweed [235] - (used for Arcane Elixir, Elixir of Greater Intellect, Gift of Arthas, Limited Invulnerability Potion and Superior Mana Potion) Found in: Swamp of Sorrows all the way. You can find this herb here in large quantities, grows around water at the edges.
  
• Ghost Mushroom [245] - (used for Elixir of Demonslaying, Elixir of Shadow Power, Ghost Dye, Invisibility Potion and Limited Invulnerability Potion) Found in: You will very rarely find a Ghost Mushroom plant, a few of them grow in the Hinterlands in the north east before crossing the river in a cave, also Maraudon has some. I got this herb mostly from hunting monsters. They drop from Elemental type of mobs like Thistleshrub Drew Collectors in Tanaris or Tar Lords/Bloodpetal Thresters/Tar Creepers in Un'Goro Crater. Some Ghost Mushrooms can be found in east DM as well.
  
• Gromsblood [250] - (used for Elixir of Brute Force, Elixir of Demonslaying, Elixir of Detect Demon, Elixir of Giants and Mighty Rage Potion) Found in: Very important herb for Mighty Rage Potions for Warriors. You can get this herb best in Desolace around the Demon mobs in the area with the dark/rotten soil.
  
• Artha's Tears [245] - (used for Elixir of Detect Undead and Gift of Arthas) Found in: Best Place for this is Felwood + Eastern/Western Plaguelands. Grows all around the zone, is a rare plant though. Can also be found Razorfen Downs on the Spiral of Thorns
  
• Golden Sansam [260] - (used for Major Healing Potion) Found in: I found this plant mostly in Un'Goro Crater. While running around at the edge of the zone, you can find Golden Sansam (along with Mountain Silversage for Major Healing Potions), in shadowy places next to trees and generally in grass.
  
• Dreamfoil [270] - (used for Elixir of the Sages, Flask of Distilled Wisdom, Greater Arcane Protection Potion, Greater Fire Protection Potion, Greater Frost Protection Potion, Greater Shadow Protection Potion and Major Mana Potion) Found in: Two nice places for this plant are definately Un'Goro Crater and Azshara, in both places you can run around on your horse/kodo all over the whole zone, you will find not only Dreamfoil but most of the high level herbs you need. Also Azshara seems one of the zones less trafficked, so you will most likely find more Dreamfoil there than in Un'Goro crater, but Un'Goro is still the best place. Dreamfoil grows all over the zone in grass.
  
• Mountain Silversage [280] - (used for Elixir of Mongoose, Flask of Chromatic Resistance, Major Healing Potion) Found in: Extremely important and largely used herb (crit potion for rogues and major healing potions), best place to search for it is Un'Goro Crater imo. Run along the edge of the zone as the plant grows on the highest possible (climbable) mountains.
  
• Plaguebloom [285] - (used for Elixir of Brute Force, Mongoose Potion, Elixir of the Sages and Purification Potion) Found in: Best and easiest place for this is Eastern Plaguelands. Grows all over the zone, mostly in the south-east corner though.
  
• Icecap [290] - (used for Flask of Chromatic Resistance, Flask of Distilled Wisdom, Major Mana Potion and Purification Potion) Found in: All over Winterspring.
  
• Black Lotus [300] - (used for Flask of Chromatic Resistance, and Flask of Distilled Wisdom) Found in: Ok this is the rarest plant ever, places it has been picked up so far are Eastern Plaguelands, Winterspring and Burning Steppes. Another good spot for this herb is the arena in Dire Maul, (you need a group for this) depending on if a rare named is up there spawn 2 Black Lotuses in the arena and can be harvested, you need to kill the named though which takes about a full group.
  Black Lotus can also be found in Alterac Valley and Silithus.
