Fadeleaf lives up to its name. It hides in similar-looking shrubs and bushes, making it nearly impossible to spot in certain conditions. You may need to zoom in on your minimap to focus on the exact spot where an elusive Fadeleaf is hiding. I've had to click around until I get the gear icon before I've found it.
Fadeleaf grows all over Arathi Highlands. In Swamp of Sorrows, it's found in the same areas as Blindweed, west of Sunken Temple, with more of it concentrated in the eastern 1/3 of the zone.

There are actually three small loop routes here, which can be strung together if one isn't producing enough for you. Be sure to keep an eye out for Goldthorn and Khadgar's Whisker in these areas as well.

The east end of Swamp of Sorrows is very good Fadeleaf territory, although the less open geography and color palette of the Swamp of Sorrows can make it hard to see. It's a good farm to combine with Blindweed, if your herbalism skill is high enough for both.
