Animal Crossing: New Horizons Flower Hybrids

Animal Crossing: New Horizons flower hybrids are just one mini-aspect of the game that all players can enjoy.

One of the best parts of Animal Crossing was being able to curate your own special garden on the side. Players have the opportunity to discover more hybrids with ease now that Nintendo has removed the feature of flowers disappearing when trampled.

When placed together in a certain grid or order, flower species can breed to create new hybrid colors beyond what the Nooklings sell in their shop. Players can create a rainbow of flora if they choose to spend their time cross-pollinating.

Note that new species of flower cannot be created—only colors.
