ACNH: Hybrid flowers - how to make them? Animal Crossing guide, tips
Last update: 12 November 2021
This FAQ page of our Animal Crossing New Horizons guide will show you how to crossbreed flowers to make them have new colors.
The flowers you can plant on your island are available in the shop in several standard colors (their number depends on the plant's species). This doesn't mean, however, that it is impossible to crossbreed flowers in order to get unique colors.
How to make hybrid flowers?
Crossbreeding flowers in Animal Crossing is not difficult, but requires proper planning, watering the flowers daily as well as patience.
To create new colors of our flowers, we need to plant new seedlings in a checkerboard pattern - as if the flowers were only black or only white fields. Of course, you have to plant plants with different colors - this is the only way to have a chance of a new color. For example, pink or orange hyacinths may grow between red and yellow flowers.
IN SHORT:
- Plant the differently colored flowers in a checkerboard pattern.
- Water them daily (note, watering them by another player increases the chance of a successful hybrid).
- Wait - if you are lucky, unique flowers will appear in your garden.
