Flowers are plants that can be grown from wild Seeds and seed packets in flower plots. Flowers come in limited colors by default, but new color variations are obtained through crossbreeding different flower colors together. Rare flowers are flowers with a special pattern applied on top of their color.

Basics Summarized

Flowers have surprisingly complex mechanics, but as a quick summary of this entire page:

1. To grow flowers faster, water them daily.
2. If you want to breed flowers, make sure they are fertilized.
3. Leave free spaces next to plants if you want seeds!
4. Always pluck bloomed flowers so that the plants can be watered and fertilized.
5. Sometimes fertilized plants will gain a pattern. These are useful!

Exactly how to obtain specific flowers in specific colors does get more complicated. The "Solid Colors" section of this page contains the quickest summary of this. If you are not sure how to arrange your plants, check the "Example Layouts" section.

Growing Flowers

In order to grow a flower, the player can plant seeds. Wild Seeds from Merry Meadow are one option. Players can also obtain seeds as seed packets from Mystery Seed Capsules and putting plucked flowers into the Seed Dispenser.

Growth Stages

Flower growing stages.

The stages of growth are seed, sprout, grown plant, bud, and bloomed flower. Starting from a seed, a flower takes 4 days to bloom if watered daily using a Watering Can. A flower can only be watered once a day. Flowers can still grow if not watered; however, growth takes longer.

Watering causes a flower to grow 1 day faster than it would otherwise. If a flower spawns into the garden at a different stage than a seed, it may not always change stages when watered. This is most commonly seen with newly planted seedlings, which remain a bud even if watered the next day.

Watering can also be done with the assistance of a Nul wearing the Watering Can Hat after the "Friends of the Flowers" quest. The nul waters all the plots in a biome (region) once when the hat is given to it and can water once per day after that, but only if asked by the player. Multiple nuls can receive hats.

Rain in a region can also water flowers there. Rain only has a chance of occuring after the "A Clue On The Shore" quest is completed.

Meadow Flowers

The first available flower plots are in Merry Meadow. If planted in Merry Meadow, the Seed item always produces a single Meadow]] flower type. This is the player's wildflower — or default flower type — for the Meadow, and the Meadow's wildflower is randomly set for each island.

A wildflower grown from wild Seeds can have any of its default colors. Every Meadow flower has 3 default colors. The Meadow wildflower can be the Bellbutton (yellow, blue, or white), Dandelily (red, yellow, or white), Penstemum (green, sky, or white), or Tulias (red, yellow, or violet).

The other Meadow flower seeds are obtainable through Mystery Seed Capsules. Usually, the Mystery Seed Capsules contain seed packets with the other Meadow flowers in any of their default colors. It is guaranteed to gain every other type of Meadow flower, but it is not guaranteed to get all default colors. If this happens, the other default colors must be obtained through crossbreeding if possible or by obtaining additional Mystery Seed Capsules from the Crane Craze mini-game.

Meadow flowers can be planted in all biomes with flower plots so far.

Other Flowers

There are other flowers that are available if through quests or during certain events. So far, all of these have had only 1 default color each. Cross-type breeding with patterned flowers is needed to introduce other colors into these types.

Hibiscus

The Hibiscus is the wildflower of the Seaside Resort. Completing the "Beach Blossoms" quest unlocks the Resort's flower plots. A wild Seed planted in the Seaside Resort always produces a hot pink hibiscus. The hibiscus cannot be planted in Gemstone Mountain but can be planted in Merry Meadow.

Marigold

The Marigold is only obtainable during an event: the Colorblaze Carnival. Orange is the marigold's default color. During the event, orange marigolds can randomly appear in any empty flower plot in any biome. Marigolds cannot be turned into seed packets by digging them up or by using the Seed Dispenser, making their flowers purely decorative. However, marigolds can be dug up like other plants once they are grown. Also, event flowers like the marigold cannot be crossbred for new colors outside of their event.

Thistle

The Thistle is the wildflower of Gemstone Mountain. Completing the "Wild Mountain Time" quest unlocks Gemstone's flower plots. A Seed planted in Gemstone Mountain always produces a violet thistle. Thistles can only grow in the Gemstone Mountain biome; their seeds and seedlings cannot be planted in the Meadow or Resort.

Fertilization and Patterns

The player can also use Fertilizer (most easily obtained by using the Composter) once a day on most plants. Fertilizer increases the chance of crossbreeding, encourages a plant to propagate (produce seeds), and can cause a plant to turn into a "rare" plant with a pattern.

Flowers with a pattern are referred to as "rare" flowers. Crossbred flowers can also become rare flowers. A pattern has a low chance of appearing when Fertilizer is applied to flowers at any stage. The plant, not the flower it is growing, is what becomes rare, so the plant will continue to grow rare flowers if its flowers are plucked. If a seed or sprout is fertilized and becomes rare before being dug up with the Trowel, it will retain its pattern even when turned into a seed packet by the trowel.

Unlike non-patterned flowers, plucked rare flowers cannot be turned into seed packets with the Seed Dispenser. However, rare plucked flowers, seedlings, and seed packets can still get turned into fertilizer using the Composter.

As detailed in the "Cross-type Breeding" section, patterned flowers are useful for transferring colors between different types of flowers when crossbreeding them. Fertilizing as frequently as possible to try for rare plants, especially rare plants in new colors, is highly recommended.

Patterns

The default color of all patterns is white on all flowers except white flowers, which receive a warm pink pattern instead. Other color combinations can be obtained through in-type crossbreeding and other methods. For more details, see the "Pattern Colors" section.

The ombré pattern is the default pattern for almost all flowers. In version 1.5, it was also the pattern of marigolds; however, that was an error corrected in version 1.6.

The trim pattern became the default pattern of marigolds starting in version 1.6. Currently, the marigold is the only flower that has the trim pattern by default.

According to a developer, something called a pattern transfer may be possible. There is currently not more information about what exactly a pattern transfer is or how to perform one. It may refer to either other flower types gaining a different pattern or gaining not-default pattern colors.

Moving Flowers

The Trowel allows the player to dig up plants and is unlocked during the "Dig It Up" quest. Troweled seeds and sprouts go into the inventory as seed packets, and troweled older plants go into the inventory as seedlings. Both can be replanted when interacting with an empty flower plot.

Freshly planted seedlings are always at the "grown" stage, and freshly planted seed packets are always at the sprout stage. They are both automatically marked as watered and fertilized when put into the ground, but this automatic fertilization does not have a chance of giving the plant a pattern.

However, the automatic fertilization does reportedly boost seed propagation. If attempting to breed a rare (patterned) flower, digging it up and replanting it daily may help.

Available Flower Plots

Merry Meadow has 302 individual plots in 8 separate flower beds: 3 in the first area (including a small one unlocked during the "Wildflower Hustle" quest), 1 on the second (which requires growing the first Giant Seed to access), 2 on the third (after the second Giant Seed is grown), and 2 on the fourth (after the third Giant Seed is grown).

Seaside Resort has 258 individual plots in 12 separate flower beds, including one flower bed each in the Hopscotch Islands and Cozy Islands. Obtaining these flower beds requires completing the "Beach Blossoms" quest, which requires Lou to have permanently moved into a visitor cabin.

Gemstone Mountain has 259 individual plots in 11 flower beds. Obtaining these flower beds requires completing the "Wild Mountain Time" quest, which requires Poco to have permanently moved into a visitor cabin.

Crossbreeding

Crossbreeding refers to any attempt to breed different flowers together to produce a new result. Flowers can breed with each other if there is an empty plot touching two or more flowers. If an empty plot is touching only one flower, seeds will always be a flower of the same type and solid color.

Flower Breeding Guide: How seeds' parents may be determined if the parents are in a "checkerboard" pattern.

An empty plot is needed to allow a seed to appear. A seed has a chance of appearing next to any flowers that are at least in the grown stage. The seed's parents are then selected from among all grown, budded, or bloomed flower directly touching the seed on any side. If this is pictured as a 3 by 3 square, a seed in the center square could have any plant in the 8 surrounding squares as a parent.

In other words, it does not matter if the flowers are directly touching. Flowers spaced one plot apart will still have up to three plots where a seed that appears could be their child: the one directly between them and the two plots on either side of that (the plots that are between the parents diagonally).

The following tables are some examples of how seeds may be determined from the interaction of two parent plants.

Seeds from Spaced Parents

Seed A	Seed A	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B	Seed B
Seed A	Plant A	Seed AB/A/B	Plant B	Seed B
Seed A	Seed A	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B	Seed B

Seeds from Diagonal Parents

Seed A	Seed A	Seed A
Seed A	Plant A	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B
Seed A	Seed AB/A/B	Plant B	Seed B
	Seed B	Seed B	Seed B

Seeds from Side-by-Side Parents

Seed A	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B
Seed A	Plant A	Plant B	Seed B
Seed A	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B

If multiple possible parents are in the 3 by 3 square, only two are picked as parents, so only two contribute to the seed's color and type. The selection of parents may be entirely random. Even if two compatible parent are chosen, the chance of a successful crossbreed is lower than the chance of getting a duplicate of either parent. To increase the chance of a crossbreed, use Fertilizer. The boost from fertilizer only effects the plant for that day and does not seem to apply to currently bloomed plants.

Fertilizer also helps crossbreeding by significantly increasing seed propagation. A fertilized plant has a 10% chance of spawning a seed in any empty plot around it. The effect is additive; each additional fertilized plant touching a particular empty plot has a 10% chance of putting a seed in that plot. That makes the maximum chance 80% if a plot is surrounded on all sides by fertilized plants.

Example Seed Chances (with Fertilized Plants)

10%	20%	20%	20%	20%	10%
10%	Plant	Plant	30%	Plant	10%
10%	30%	40%	Plant	30%	20%
0%	20%	Plant	60%	Plant	20%
0%	20%	Plant	Plant	Plant	20%
0%	10%	20%	20%	20%	10%

Arranging flowers so that only two plants can interact with produced seeds is a good way to target specific crossbreeding results. However, successful crossbreeding is not guaranteed even by limiting flowers' interactions. Because the chance of a seed spawning is determined by the number of nearby plants, plot layouts with more flowers and less predictable interactions can still be successful.

Crossbred Colors

Flowers of the same type can produce seeds that mix their colors if their colors are compatible. Compatible flowers do not always produce crossbred colors; they also have a chance of producing a flower with only one of the parents' colors.

Like other plucked flowers, plucked flowers with crossbred solid colors are able to be placed into the Seed Dispenser to produce new seed packets as long as they do not have a pattern. Seeds cannot inherit patterns, but fertilized seeds and sprouts can gain patterns before being dug up.

Applying Fertilizer to flowers is strongly recommended for all crossbreeding attempts. Crossbreeding is possible without fertilizer, but the chances are much lower.

Cross-type Breeding

Flowers are able to breed with flowers of different types. However, successful crossbreeding between flower types requires at least one of the parents to have a pattern. Even with a patterned parent, the seed may only have the same color and type of a single one of its parents.

Color transfers result when cross-type breeding is successful. Successes are probably rarer than with regular crossbreeding.

A successfully cross-typed seed takes its type from one parent while taking its color from a patterned parent of a different type. For example, a green penstemum with an ombré crossed with a bellbutton could produce a green bellbutton. A blue bellbutton with an ombré crossed with a dandelily could produce a blue dandelily. Regular seeds matching a single parent's solid color and type may also be produced if the cross fails.

It is possible to cross-type breed two patterned flowers. Again, a successful cross takes it type from one of the parents and the color from another. Using two patterned flowers allows both the opportunity to transfer their color to the opposite type. It can still result in failed crosses.

It is still recommended to apply fertilizer to all possible flowers. Patterned flowers cannot be manually fertilized, but digging up and replanting flowers automatically marks the flowers as fertilized and should help with seed production.

Example Layouts

A side-by-side pair has the most spaces for possible crossbred seeds of any pair arrangement. If you want to keep breeding pairs separated, rows (or columns, if arranged vertically) should be two spaces apart, while the plant pairs in the row are one space apart from other pairs. The three spaces between two pairs can also produce crossbreeds.

Example of Paired Breeding

Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B
Plant A	Plant B	Seed AB/A/B	Plant A	Plant B	Seed B
Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed B
Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed D
Plant C	Plant D	Seed CD/C/D	Plant C	Plant D	Seed D
Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed CD/C/D	Seed D

Rather than a spaced line, you may want to use a continuous line. Even if it results in possibly unwanted pairs, it may increase seed propagation and therefore still help with crossbreeding efforts. Anything unwanted can always go into the Composter for extra fertilizer.

If you have 3 or more colors that you want to crossbreed together in different combinations, this also works fine as a continuous line. All seeds in the below row could result in clones (of plants A, B, or C) or a crossbreed with one of the following combinations: AB, AC, or BC.

Example of Line Breeding

Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)
Plant A	Plant B	Plant C	Plant A	Plant B	Plant C
Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)	Seed (any)

Alternatively, you may be in a situation where you are trying to crossbreed multiple flowers with a single flower. For example, you might have a single flower that you want to breed with several other flowers. In that case, you might want to make a more circular arrangement where the flowers breeding with the central flower cannot breed with each other.

Example of Circular Breeding

Seed B	Seed B	Seed C	Plant C	Seed C
Plant B	Seed AB/A/B	Seed AC/A/C	Seed AC/A/C	Seed C
Seed B	Seed AB/A/B	Plant A	Seed AD/A/D	Seed D
Seed E	Seed AE/A/E	Seed AE/A/E	Seed AD/A/D	Plant D
Seed E	Plant E	Seed E	Seed D	Seed D

The above circular breeding pattern can include more flowers. A "merry-go-round" can have multiple flowers set to interact with the central flower. The benefit is that more seeds can be produced thanks to having more flowers involved, which may allow more chances at crossbreeding. The con is that more flowers means more alternative parents for the seeds (because, as in all cases, parents are randomly selected). However, the increase in crossbreeding opportunities seems to generally help get useful results, despite the unpredictability of the results.

A setup like the one below shows an attempted cross-type using 6 flower types: 5 in the perimeter with a single central patterned flower of a 6th type. A merry-go-round does not have to involve multiple types or cross-typing; this is only an example.

Example Cross-type Merry-Go-Round

Type 5	Type 1	Type 3	Type 2	Type 5
Type 2	Seed	Seed	Seed	Type 1
Type 4	Seed	Ombré Type 6	Seed	Type 4
Type 1	Seed	Seed	Seed	Type 2
Type 5	Type 2	Type 3	Type 1	Type 5

Many thanks to Discord users gency, ._.kitcat, and hitherecat for their breeding setup suggestions and assistance.

Color Variations

Each flower grown from a Seed or obtained through a Mystery Seed Capsule will have one of a flower's default colors. Once grown, the player can crossbreed flowers of different colors to unlock new color variations.

There are 29 possible colors. How to obtain black and gray is unknown at this time, but all 29 will be obtainable eventually. With 7 flower types, 29 possible colors, 2 possible patterns, and patterns available in every combination but the same color twice, that means literally thousands of possible flower variations.

It is strongly recommended to focus on obtaining the solid colors for the collection and obtaining at least a few flowers with patterns. There is no achievement goal for collecting large amounts of color variations.

Master Palette

Master Palette Colors (Non-flower Version)

Type	Color Names
Base	█ Black	█ Gray	█ White	█ Red
Tint				█ Warm Pink
Base	█ Coral	█ Orange	█ Yellow	█ Lime
Tint	█ Blush	█ Peach	█ Cream	█ Pistachio
Base	█ Green	█ Teal	█ Sky	█ Blue
Tint	█ Mint	█ Seafoam	█ Cloud	█ Ice
Base	█ Indigo	█ Violet	█ Magenta	█ Hot Pink
Tint	█ Periwinkle	█ Lilac	█ Cool Pink	█ Pink

The possible flower colors are all derived from the official master palette, whose colors are seen above and in the official master palette image. The master palette was first introduced in version 1.5 and is meant to be used with flowers and other items, like clothing and furniture.

Flower colors do not precisely match the master palette's brightness or saturation, but the hue remains consistent. According to the developers, the differences in the colors exist to make the flowers more visibly different. The most notable changes to flower colors are for warm pink, blush, and sky.

If you need help identifying colors, this color identifier may help. To use it, you must download it to your device as an .SVG file. On a Macbook, open the .SVG file in your device's image editor, and take a screenshot of the flower to load into the editor.

Solid Colors

The following table shows how to obtain solid (non-patterned) colors through crossbreeding. Many base solids can be produced by breeding other base colors of the same flower type together, and tint solids are produced by breeding the corresponding base color and a white flower of the same flower type together.

Some base solids cannot be produed by regular crossbreeding but instead require "cross-type breeding" (also referred to as "cross-typing" or "color transferring"). Cross-typing requires breeding a rare (patterned) flower of one type with a flower of another type to produce a flower with the solid color from the patterned flower and the type of the other flower. For example, a red & white ombré dandelily bred with any color of bellbutton could produce a red bellbutton. Cross-typing can be used to give a flower type a new color even if the color can also be obtained through regular crossbreeding.

If the player is completely missing certain colors (white, red, yellow, sky, or blue) because they were not in the player's Mystery Seed Capsules, the other default colors can be obtained by cross-typing (in some cases, not all) or by obtaining additional Mystery Seed Capsules from the Crane Craze mini-game.

It is currently unknown how to obtain black and gray. It may not yet be possible.

Pattern Colors

When a flower turns rare, in most cases, the rare will get the default pattern color. All non-white colors gain a white pattern by default, while white flowers gain a warm pink pattern by default. For example, a blue bellbutton gets a white ombré, and a white bellbutton gets a warm pink ombré.

Obtaining non-default pattern colors is possible. Some of the following information is still unconfirmed, but it is based on what has been seen in various cases posted to the official Discord.

Information on these different variations of patterned flowers (sometimes colloquially called "double" patterns, like "double ombré" or "double trim") is still being gathered, so the belowinformation is not finalized. Whether some cases did not follow the above rules is unknown because of the rarity of successes.

It is confirmed that it is not possible to produce a patterned flower with the solid and pattern having the same color.

From Crossbreeding

Crossbreeding flowers of the same type can produce a patterned flower with the solid color from one flower and the pattern color from the other flower. This seems to be an extremely rare result and requires using at least one patterned flower when crossbreeding.

For example, if a seed is produced in a spot touching both a blue bellbutton and a yellow bellbutton with an ombré, there is a small chance that the seed will have the solid color from one flower and the ombré color from the other flower. This could possibly create a yellow & blue ombré bellbutton or a blue & yellow ombré bellbutton.

It also works (and maybe is more likely) when crossbreeding two patterned flowers of the same type. In this case, the patterned flower bred from them could gain the solid color of one flower and the pattern color for another. In one case, a green & white ombré penstemum crossed with a sky & white ombré penstemum produced a green & sky ombré penstemum.

From Fertilizing

On other extremely rare occasions, a pattern that would have otherwise had the default color may instead draw from a nearby flower.

This has possibly been seen when fertilizing a solid next to a patterned flower. A yellow solid bellbutton fertilized next to a blue & white ombré bellbutton became a yellow & blue ombré bellbutton.

On another occassion, fertilization of a nearby solid changed the color of a white flower with a default pattern. A yellow tulias fertilized next to a white & warm pink ombré dandelily reportedly caused the dandelily to turn into a white & yellow ombré dandelily.
