Flowers in the Animal Crossing series are small clusters of brightly colored flowers that live throughout all four seasons. They can be bought from Tom Nook's Store or Leif's Garden Shop, are grown by villagers, and grow randomly around the town. In Template:AFe+ and earlier, flowers cannot breed or wilt. All sorts of colors can be bought from Tom Nook without the need to hybridize. The Blue Cosmos is exclusive to Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Template:AF+, Animal Crossing and Template:AFe+ and was not available anymore in Animal Crossing: Wild World and later. Also, they cannot be picked up in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Template:AF+ or Animal Crossing unlike in later games, so they cannot be sold or worn. In Template:AFe+, flowers can be picked, but it will result in the flower being destroyed and the player will be holding the flower in their hands after being picked, then if the inventory is opened up and attempting to grab it from the player will result in the flower disappearing from their hands and cannot be placed in the inventory.

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, since Animal Crossing: City Folk, be worn on the player's hair. A flower worn this way will take the place of a hat. The rose, however, it 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 on a bunch many times, 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 a shovel to dig where the flower is, destroying it.

There are four common types of flowers: roses, cosmos, tulips, and pansies. Various combinations of flowers can be bred to form new colors, such as the yellow and red pansies, which create an orange pansy. Each day, there is a 80% chance for each non-watered flower to wilt at 6am, 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 the next day. To prevent any flowers from wilting, players should water every single flower in their town Unless it is raining or snowing, which hydrates all the flowers in the town, preventing wilting the next day at 6a.m.. Even if players water all flowers, however, one flower may still wilt. This wilting process applies to all flowers but the golden rose, which is created after watering a wilted black rose with a golden watering can.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, flowers grows in groups of four, unlike in previous games where they grow in groups of threes. New flowers, such as lilies and violets, are also present in this game. The ability to wear flowers in the hair of a player, which was introduced in City Folk, also reappears, again taking the place of a hat. Hybridization remains a feature for flowers.

Flowers in Template:AFe+ and earlier

Pink Cosmos A Pink Cosmos can be planted with a Pink Cosmos Bag, which can be bought from Tom Nook's store.
White Cosmos A White Cosmos can be planted with a White Cosmos Bag, which can be bought from Tom Nook's store. Since the White Cosmos was yellow in color, it was named as Yellow Cosmos and while the bag was renamed as Sun Cosmos Bag in Animal Crossing: Wild World and later.
Red Tulip A Red Tulip can be planted with a Red Tulip Bag, which can be bought from Tom Nook's store.
White Tulip A White Tulip can be planted with a White Tulip Bag, which can be bought from Tom Nook's store.

Special flowers

Image Type Description
133px Gold rose Gold roses are flowers that first appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World, they can only be made by watering a wilted black rose with the golden can. The wilted black rose will turn into a gold rose the next day. Just like dandelions, gold roses will never wilt, but gold roses also won't ever disappear from the town, unlike dandelions when they turn into dandelion puffs.
133px Carnation Carnations can be obtained only in City Folk and New Leaf. There are three colors - pink is obtained from the player's mother on Mother's Day (May 10th), the red is obtained from the player's father on Father's Day (June 21st), and white is created as a hybrid of the two.
133px Clover Clovers grow frequently and are generally treated as weeds, disappearing after being pulled. However, the four leafed-clover grows very infrequently and is placed in the player's inventory. It has been known to affect luck, and can be worn in the hair or placed as furniture in the player's house, used as a bookmark.
CF Dandelion.jpg Dandelion Dandelions appear randomly around the town and are essentially classed as a weed, despite not affecting the town's environment. They look like a brighter version of a sun cosmos, with thinner, fuller petals and heavier leaves. After a couple of days, a dandelion will turn into a dandelion puff.
CF Dandelion Puff.jpg Dandelion puff The dandelion puff can be grown only when a normal dandelion is left for a certain space of time. The dandelion puff is a collection of seeds with white parasols. This item, when held, can be blown by the player, hence the name "puff." When blown, the seeds float away and disappear into nothing. In City Folk, the parasols are much more realistic, complete with seeds. Dandelions turn into dandelion puffs after a couple of days, then the dandelion puff will disappear from the town after a couple of days has passed.
NL Jacob's Ladder.png Jacob's ladder When the environment of a town reaches perfect level, the Jacob's Ladder flower grows around the town. This flower has no variations, appearing only as a cluster of whitish-green buds dangling from a leafy plant. This plant does not breed when placed near other Jacob's Ladders.
133px Rafflesia The rafflesia is a large red plant that grows in the player's town after a large number of weeds accumulate. Once this plant appears in town, it means that the town is at the lowest rank. In reality, the plant is notorious for its smell; which, in game, is reflected by the presence of flies. After the removal of the weeds, the rafflesia will wilt, then disappear. If the player wants to remove the weeds, he or she should talk to Wisp the ghost and bring back all five spirits. Ridding the town of weeds is one of three choices as a reward. In many ways, it is the polar opposite of the Jacob's Ladder.

Hybridization

Hybrids can be obtained from Wild World onwards. In Animal Crossing, hybrids can be bought from Tom Nook's, but cannot be bred. However the Blue Cosmos cannot be obtained by any means, even through breeding in Wild World or later, due to the fact that it only exists in Template:AFe+ and earlier.

How to Hybridize

If two different specimen of the same species are planted next to each other, on the next morning, there is a chance they will interact and create a new flower in one of the spaces next to either of the parents. For example, red tulips and white tulips can produce pink tulips. There are a few guidelines to follow to do this.

  • The parent flowers should be adjacent, either right next to each other or diagonally.
  • There needs to be at least one space open next to each parent. This means that the flowers should not be entirely surrounded.

Even if the hybridization conditions are met, there is no guarantee it will occur. Only three to five new flowers appear in a town in a day, and most hybridization pairings can produce a non-hybrid child, so it may take a while for any particular hybridization to occur. There are a few things may increase the chance of hybridization.

  • Perfect town status
  • Luck from positive Feng Shui.
  • Watering dried out flowers that meet hybridization conditions.
  • Using a silver watering can

Some insects appear on flowers. In this case it is a snail on a Jacob's Ladder

Once a hybrid is produced, it can reproduce quickly by crossing it with any other flower. Not all flowers can create hybrids, however.
