Leif Animal Crossing New Horizons: Everything You Need to Know
Leif was introduced in the April update, so you won't find him unless you're on the latest version. He has a high chance of appearing the day after the update. From then, he'll appear in your town square on random days like some of the other merchants. When he visits, you'll have the chance to buy shrubs and rare flower seeds.
In addition to the special plants, he will buy weeds off of you for 20 Bells a clump. He hates weeds so much, he'll offer double what the Nooks will give you to entice you to keep your town clean. It might be worth grabbing weeds from Nook Miles tours and cash them out when Leif is in town.
