Animal Crossing New Horizons: Flower Breeding Chart (& How to Grow Hybrids)

by

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players can plant many different flowers around their island to make it more beautiful and improve its rating. A higher island rating is key to achieving the coveted 5-Star status in the game.

Every island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons begins with a specific flower. But you can expand your garden by visiting other islands or buying seeds. Each flower type can also be bred to create new, hybrid colors. This guide will show you how to get all the different hybrid flowers.

How to Breed Flowers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

In New Horizons, players can grow flowers in different colors. You can breed these flowers simply by watering them – a new flower will grow nearby. If there’s room next to a watered flower, there’s a chance it will breed while you’re away.

A flower on its own will create an exact copy of itself, but won’t mix traits to produce a flower of a different color. It needs to crossbreed with another flower to create variation.

How to Crossbreed Flowers and Get Hybrids in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

When you grow certain flowers together, they can create new hybrids with colors that aren’t on the original seed packet.

To create new flower colors in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you need to combine two flowers that are able to breed together. Simply plant them next to each other – it doesn’t matter if they’re side-by-side, above and below, or diagonal – then water them and wait until the next day to see the results.

To best ensure flowers successfully create a hybrid through crossbreeding, arrange them in an X shape – this maximizes contact between the flowers.
