How do you make hybrid flowers in New Horizons?
To create flower hybrids in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you'll need to plant your flowers in a checkerboard pattern on your island. This will give them space to cross-pollinate and do some flower breeding, with the hybrid flowers growing in the gaps.
Flowers can breed only if they're the same species of flower, but there are a few other requirements you need to meet, too. Those are: The flowers are planted next to each other (either directly or diagonally) They're fully bloomed or budding (meaning they will be fully bloomed the next day)
Hybrid plants and flowers can happen naturally in nature, or artificially by manual pollination. For example, if two completely different plants are close in proximity, nature could pollinate them and create hybrids naturally. Wind, bees, flies, hummingbirds, or even moths could do the pollinating.
Combinations are not guaranteed, and it might take several days to get a new flower. There appears to be some RNG in the mix, as well. Two flowers of the same color that do not have a special combo will produce another flower of the same color.
The best way to do this is to plant your flowers in a checkerboard pattern, leaving every other space open for different plants to pollinate and hybrid flowers to grow. Flowers need water (from rain or from you and your Watering Can) to grow and create a hybrid.
Hybrid flowers are flowers that are not the same colour as their parent plants. To cross-pollinate flowers and receive the rare hybrid varieties you need to plant your flowers in a diagonal or checkerboard pattern (see picture) with a gap between each plant, so new flowers can grow from the parent plant beside them.
Growing rare plants has been a staple in the Animal Crossing series ever since Wild World came out on the Nintendo DS back in 2005. It involves placing two of the same flower types together in a strategic way, and then watering them in the hopes of it spawning a new one with a unique color.
Blue roses might be the hardest flower to bloom in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as there's a very specific way of growing it. We've got everything you need to know about spawning your own.
There are a lot of flowers to collect in Animal Crossing New Horizons, but the rarest one is the Lily of the Valley, a white flower that only appears under certain circumstances.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons' blue roses are the rarest hybrid flowers in the game, and this guide will help players grow them. Blue roses are the most difficult hybrid flowers to obtain in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as they can only be consistently bred from special red roses with a particular genetic makeup.
Can you create a hybrid plant?
Most hybrid plants are manmade crosses, but hybridization is possible in nature. Two plants close to each other of different species can be cross pollinated by insects or the wind and the resulting seed simply falls on the soil and grows into a hybrid.
This guide will bring out your inner botanist-gamer by showing you how to breed every hybrid flower in the game! To breed flowers, plant them nearby each other and water them daily while in bloom (rain also works). A day or so later, you can see a new plant sprouting up nearby. That's the basic idea!

Aside from being my favorite fruit offering in real life, no one has pears. They are the rarest currency, at least in my groups, and I covet the pear trees of my friends.
In New Horizons, flowers no longer wilt by default, and only need to be watered to produce hybrids. A black rose that has been watered once by a gold watering can has a 50% chance of producing a gold rose until it produces one.
Additional flower types can be obtained from Nook's Cranny, by traveling to a Mystery Island, or by taking variants from your friend's islands. When you find a new variant, you'll need to dig them up with the shovel to plant them on your own island.
To grow flowers, you can apply bone meal on a grass block. The block must either have no block above it (obstructing sun/moonlight), or be lit with at least a light level of 8.
Crossing two genetically different plants produces a hybrid seed (plant) by means of controlled pollination. To produce consistent F1 hybrids, the original cross must be repeated for each season.
If you are looking to make your island look homier in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, one of the best ways is to add some flowers. You can even clone those flowers to make more and more of them! By cloning hybrid flowers, players can bring in rare bugs to their islands while making it an even more beautiful.

How do you farm rare flowers?
Rare Flowers can be harvested from the cattails in the swamp, certain bushes near the top of mountains, and also Giant Beaver Dams. Ankylosaurus and Therizinosaurus work well for harvesting Rare Flowers.
The easiest way to gather large amounts of flowers is taking the Therizinosaur to the swamp biome and walking it along the shores where there are large concentrations of cattail reeds, then using its berry-gathering attack. Under normal server conditions, this can yield an amount of flowers well worth the effort.
Lilies of the Valley do not breed next to each other. However, if placed next to other kinds of flowers they will form hybrids. Lilies of the Valley do not have any variations of their own, they only appear in one single form, i.e., the bluish white cluster of flowers.
1 Coconuts
It only makes sense that New Horizons would feature coconuts and plenty of them, but coconuts are actually the only fruit players cannot naturally grow on their island.
Black Roses sell for 80 bells, though because they are so difficult to grow, players don't typically try to sell them. So far, there aren't any DIY items that require a black Rose, so these somewhat rare flowers are primarily grown for the aesthetic of a player's island and to add to a player's overall collection.
How to grow a hybrid. Take two roses, or two tulips, or two cosmos, or two pansies, and put them next to each other. They can be on the same line or diagonally touching. Then, if you have a color combination that produces hybrid flowers, you might find a hybrid flower growing near those two one day.
When a flower is watered (aka the parent), it can breed a new flower in any square around it in a 3x3 grid. However, if another flower (aka the partner) is placed nearby, they can cross-pollinate to form a new flower around either the parent or partner flower.
