Animal Crossing New Horizons hybrid flowers have many different benefits to your island, and we've created a guide to build the perfect garden.

But why should you grow flowers in the first place? Flowers attract certain insects, increase your island's rating, and provide decoration for your island. They can be picked without damaging the plant to be sold or used in crafting recipes.

What about hybrid flowers? Hybrid flowers have many additional colors and attract rarer insects like the Peacock Butterfly. They also are worth a lot more money when sold. You can earn both types of flowers by buying them from Tom Nook, Nook's Cranny, Leif's shop or even random islands using Nook Miles.
