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 stores, Timmy and Tommy's stores, or Leif's Garden Shop, are grown by villagers, and grow randomly around the town. They can be watered with a watering can to breed them, which can produce hybrid flowers, and, before Animal Crossing: New Horizons, they will wilt if not watered. In the first-generation games, flowers cannot breed or wilt.

Additionally, flowers cannot be picked up in Doubutsu no Mori or Animal Crossing unlike in later games, so they cannot be sold or worn. In Doubutsu no Mori e+, 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. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowers now take a few days to grow, and can now be plucked from the flower plants to be used as crafting materials, with new flower heads growing in a few days.

Flower basics[edit]

CF Watering Flowers.jpg

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 create an orange pansy.

Wilting can occur to flowers in games before Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Each day, if it has not rained or snowed the day before, there is a chance for each 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 the next 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 in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Some insects, such as snails, appear on flowers.

In New Leaf, flowers grow in groups of four, unlike in previous games and New Horizons where they grow in groups of three. The ability to wear flowers in the hair of a player, which was introduced in Wild World, also reappears, again taking the place of a hat. Hybridization remains a feature for 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, since Animal Crossing: Wild World, be worn on the player's hair. A flower worn this way will take the place of a hat. 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 a shovel to dig where the flower is, destroying it.

In New Horizons, flowers have been completely overhauled. Planting a flower seed will result in the appearance of small leaves referred to as sprouts on the ground indicating the first stage of growth. The next day, the flowers will appear as stems and the following day they will appear as buds, before finally blooming on the third day after planting. The player can pluck the blossoms (except for lily 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 the stems growth stage. Running over the flowers also has a chance of destroying the blossoms, reducing them to the buds 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 the buds growth stage. The flower plants cannot be sent through the mail, but the blossoms can.

Special flowers[edit]

For flowers that appear during the garden events in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, see Garden event
Image Type Description
Lily-of-the-Valley Plant NH Inv Icon.png Lily of the valley While this flower cannot be bought in a bag, these flowers appear next to the cliffs only when the town has a perfect Environment Rating. These flowers appear in Doubutsu no Mori e+ onward. Until Happy Home Designer, these flowers were mistakenly called Jacob's Ladder, in spite of neither flower looking anything like the other. This was a translation error: they are correctly called すずらん (suzuran, the Japanese name for lilies of the valley) in the Japanese versions. The in-game files also call these flowers lilies, and the furniture award from Weeding Day resembling this flower is called the Lily Lamp.
Red Carnation White Carnation Pink Carnation Carnation Carnations can be obtained in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. There are three colors—pink is obtained from the player's mother on Mother's Day (May 10th), red is obtained from the player's father on Father's Day (June 21st), and white is created as a hybrid of the two.
Gold Roses NH Inv Icon.png Gold rose Gold roses are flowers that first appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World. They can be made only by watering a wilted black rose with the golden can. The wilted black rose will turn into a gold rose the next day. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, black roses do not turn into gold roses, as they no longer wilt, but instead produce gold offspring. Just like dandelions, gold roses will never wilt, but gold roses also never disappear from the town, unlike dandelions, which turn into dandelion puffs.
Dandelion NL Icon.png Dandelion Dandelions appear randomly around the town and are essentially classed as a weed in the real world, despite not affecting the town's environment since they count as a flower rather than a weed. They appear just like their real-life counterparts and look like a brighter version of a yellow cosmos, with thinner, fuller petals and heavier leaves. After a couple of days, a dandelion will turn into a dandelion puff (unless it is winter, in which they will stay as flowers until spring arrives). Dandelions cannot wilt.
Dandelion Puff NL Icon.png 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 the stage of a dandelion that has gone to seed, it is a collection of seeds with white parasols just like their real-life counterpart. 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. Just like their flower stage, dandelion puffs cannot wilt.
WildWorldRafflesiaSprite.png 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 real life, the plant is notorious for its smell, which, in the game, is reflected by the presence of flies. After the removal of the weeds, the rafflesia will wilt, and then disappear. If the player wants to remove the weeds, they 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 lily of the valley.
Lucky Clovers NL Icon.png 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 can be planted again like regular flowers. 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.

Hybridization[edit]

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, since it only exists in Doubutsu no Mori e+ and earlier.

If two different specimens 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.

In New Leaf[edit]

Hybrid flowers in Animal 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 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 specially breeding flowers since they have the same name and appearance as ordinary breeding flowers.

In New Horizons[edit]

In Animal 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 in New 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 functions 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 to produce an offspring. Digging up flowers can undo the effects of a watering can.
