Flowers are small clusters of brightly colored flowers that live throughout all four seasons in theAnimal Crossing series. They can be bought fromTom Nook's stores,Timmy and Tommy's stores, orLeif'sGarden Shop, are grown byvillagers, and grow randomly around thetown. They can be watered with awatering can to breed them, which can produce hybrid flowers, and, beforeAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, they will wilt if not watered. In thefirst-generation games, flowers cannot breed or wilt.

Additionally, flowers cannot be picked up inDoubutsu no Mori orAnimal Crossing unlike in later games, so they cannot be sold or worn. InDoubutsu no Mori e+, flowers can be picked, but it will result in the flower being destroyed and theplayer will be holding the flower in their hands after being picked. InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, flowers now take a few days to grow, and can now be plucked from the flower plants to be used ascrafting materials, with new flower heads growing in a few days.

Flower basics[edit]

There are four common types of flowers: roses, cosmos, tulips, and pansies.Animal Crossing: New Leaf introduced two new flowers, lilies and violets, both of which can be either bought from Leif's Gardening Store or found on various islands during tours.Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduced a further three flowers, windflowers, mums, and hyacinths, while removing violets. Various combinations of flowers can be bred to form new colors, such as the yellow and red pansies, which can create an orange pansy. Flowers appear as groups of three, except inNew Leaf where they appear as groups of four.

Wilting can occur to flowers in games beforeAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. Each day, if it has not rained or snowed the day before, there is a chance for a non-watered flower to wilt at 6 AM, turning a brown color. They can be revived by being watered with a watering can on the same day that they wilt, and will return to normal the following day. Watering flowers that have not wilted yet prevents the flower from wilting thenext day. This wilting process applies to all flowers except the golden rose, dandelion, and dandelion puffs. Flowers that have been watered show shiny petals and sparkle inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf.

Some insects, such assnails, appear on flowers.

In later games, flowers, unless they are wilted, can be picked up as with any item. They can also be displayed in the player's house or, sinceAnimal Crossing: Wild World, be worn on the player's hair. A flower worn this way will take the place of ahat. The rose, however, is held between the teeth and will take the place of an accessory or helmet.

Flowers can be destroyed in some ways. If the player runs through one of the bunches, there is a 30% chance that the flowers will be destroyed. If the player attempts to pick up a wilted flower, the player plucks it instead, removing it. The player can also use ashovel to dig where the flower is, destroying it.

InNew Horizons, flowers have been completely overhauled. Planting a flower seed will result in the appearance of small leaves referred to assprouts on the ground indicating the first stage of growth. The next day, the flowers will appear asstems and the following day they will appear asbuds, before finally blooming on the third day after planting. The player can pluck the blossoms (except forlily of the valley), which can then be used as a crafting material, worn on the player as an accessory, or placed as a single stem flower in a vase. Plucking the blossoms will revert the flowers to thestems growth stage. Running over the flowers also has a chance of destroying the blossoms, reducing them to thebuds stage. At any growth stage, the player can dig up the flowers with the shovel and replant them. Flowers no longer wilt, but they still must be watered to hybridize. Hybrids and other new flowers will appear each morning in thebuds growth stage. The flower plants cannot be sent through the mail, but the blossoms can.

Hybridization[edit]

Hybrids can be obtained fromWild World onwards. InAnimal Crossing, different colors of flowers can only be bought from Tom Nook's, and cannot breed. Blue cosmos only appear in thefirst generation of games.

If two flowers of the same species are planted next to each other, there is a chance they will interact and create a new flower in one of the spaces next to either of the parents the next morning. For example, red tulips and white tulips can produce pink tulips. The only difference between the two games is the need for watering - inWild World, the flowers do not need to be watered to hybridize, while they do inCity Folk, though watering the space between the two flowers counts as watering both flowers in that game.

InWild World andCity Folk[edit]

Color 1	Color 2	Possible offsprings

InNew Leaf[edit]

Hybrid flowers inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf have a much different breeding pattern than the previous Animal Crossing games in the series.

Some colors of hybrid flowers require breeding with a certain hybrid color and then breeding them again with those specific colors from their specific parents. As such, a blue rose for instance can only be obtained by breeding a purple rose with an orange rose to get a special red rose, then breeding two special red roses to get a blue rose.

It is impossible to tell the difference between ordinary breeding flowers and special breeding flowers since they have the same name and appearance as ordinary breeding flowers.

InNew Horizons[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, five types of flowers (cosmos, pansies, lilies, tulips, and roses) return from previous games, along with three new types: hyacinths, windflowers, and mums (short for chrysanthemums). Compared to previous games, hybrids inNew Horizons now feature a genotype system with each specific color having a different gene. For this instance, blue roses require massive preparation to produce, requiring the player to breed different pairs of roses.

Watering cans now function to increase the hybridization of each flower as well as increase the chances of an offspring being produced. Up to five visitors can water a flower to increase the chances of producing offspring. Digging up flowers can undo the effects of a watering can.

Notes[edit]

1. ↑Watering a black rose with a golden watering can sets a flag on it to only produce gold rose offspring. This flag is cleared once a single gold rose is produced, and persists until this condition is met. This can result in a black rose producing a gold rose a long time after being watered with the golden watering can, when the flower receives water again from any source (such as rain).
