🌺 Flower Breeding in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Introduction

Flower breeding in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be a complex process, with over 10,000 potential combinations. In the early days of the game, there was a lot of misinformation about hybrid combinations, leading to confusion among players. However, thanks to the discovery of a Mendelian genetic system by data miners, we now have a better understanding of how to breed each color of flower species in the game.

Misinformation about Flower Breeding

In the past, websites like IGN reposted guides from previous games, creating confusion among players. For example, the popular misinformation that breeding purple + purple mums would result in green mums turned out to be false. It is essential to rely on accurate information when trying to breed specific flower colors in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Understanding the Mendelian Genetic System in Animal Crossing

Data miners, such as Eater and Paler, have cracked the code on genotypes in the game, revealing a Mendelian genetic system. This system follows the principles of Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, allowing us to predict the outcomes of flower breeding with more accuracy. By understanding genotypes and using Ion's fantastic reading simulator, players can experiment and explore the various combinations of flower breeding.

Breeding Lilies

Breeding lilies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is relatively straightforward. Using seed bags, a combination of red and white lilies will give you a 50% chance of producing a pink lily. If you substitute the white lily with a yellow lily seed bag, you will have a 50% chance of growing an orange lily. Alternatively, breeding two red lilies from seed bags will give you a 25% chance of producing a black lily, along with a 25% chance of producing a pink lily.

Breeding Cosmos

Cosmos can also be bred using seed bags. Breeding a red cosmos from a seed bag with a white cosmos from a seed bag will guarantee a pink cosmos. Similarly, breeding a red cosmos with a yellow cosmos from seed bags will guarantee an orange cosmos. It is important to note that breeding red and yellow cosmos can result in different genotypes, making it possible to breed black cosmos with a probability of approximately 5.86%.

Breeding Tulips

Tulips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be bred by using various combinations of red and white tulips from seed bags. Breeding two red tulips will give you a 25% chance of producing a black tulip and a 25% chance of producing a pink tulip. Using a red tulip and a white tulip from seed bags will give you a 50% chance of growing a pink tulip. By substituting the white tulip with a yellow tulip seed bag, you can increase your chances of growing an orange tulip to 50%.

Breeding Pansies

Breeding pansies follows a similar pattern to tulips. Crossbreeding a red pansy from a seed bag with a yellow pansy from a seed bag will guarantee an orange pansy. Breeding two white pansies from seed bags will give you a 25% chance of producing a blue pansy. Taking the blue pansy and crossbreeding it with a red pansy will give you a 100% chance of a hybrid red. Breeding two hybrid red pansies together will give you a 6.25% chance of growing a purple pansy.

Breeding Wind Flowers

Wind flowers can be bred by using specific combinations of red, orange, and pink wind flowers from seed bags. Breeding a red wind flower with an orange wind flower from a seed bag will ensure a guaranteed pink wind flower. Like the pansies, breeding two white wind flowers from seed bags will give you a 25% chance of producing a blue wind flower. Crossbreeding the blue wind flower with a red wind flower will result in a hybrid red wind flower with a probability of 100%. Breeding two hybrid red wind flowers will give you a 6.25% chance of growing a purple wind flower.

Breeding Hyacinths

Hyacinths are one of the most beloved flowers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Breeding blue hyacinths can be achieved by using white and white hyacinths from seed bags. This combination will result in a blue hyacinth with a probability of 25%. Breeding a red hyacinth with a white hyacinth from seed bags will give you a 50% chance of growing a pink hyacinth. Using a red hyacinth and a yellow hyacinth from seed bags will also give you a 50% chance of growing a pink hyacinth. Crossbreeding orange hyacinths obtained from the previous step will give you a 6.25% chance of obtaining a purple hyacinth.

Breeding Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums can be bred by using a red chrysanthemum and a white chrysanthemum from seed bags. This combination will guarantee a pink chrysanthemum. Breeding two white chrysanthemums from seed bags will give you a 25% chance of producing a purple chrysanthemum. To breed green chrysanthemums, you will need to breed a red chrysanthemum and a yellow chrysanthemum from seed bags to produce a hybrid yellow chrysanthemum. Breeding two hybrid yellow chrysanthemums will give you a 6.25% chance of growing a green chrysanthemum. It is important to note that attempting to breed green chrysanthemums using purple chrysanthemums will not be successful.

Breeding Roses

Roses in Animal Crossing: New Horizons offer a variety of colors through different breeding combinations. Breeding a red rose and a white rose from seed bags will give you a 50% chance of growing a pink rose. Similarly, breeding a red rose and a yellow rose from seed bags will result in a 50% chance of growing an orange rose. Breeding two red roses from seed bags will give you a 25% chance of producing a black rose, along with a 25% chance of producing a pink rose.

Breeding Blue Roses

Breeding blue roses in Animal Crossing: New Horizons follows the Astari Asian method. Start by crossbreeding a purple rose (obtained from two white roses) with a red rose for a 50% chance of getting a hybrid pink rose. Crossbreed the hybrid pink rose with a yellow rose from seed bags for a 12.5% chance of obtaining a hybrid red rose. Acquire as many hybrid red roses as possible, as breeding two of them will give you a 1.56% chance of growing a blue rose.

Breeding Gold Roses

To breed gold roses in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you will need a golden watering can and at least one black rose. Watering a black rose directly with a golden watering can will give it an invisible golden flag. When breeding with other flowers, the black rose with the golden flag has a 50/50 chance of producing a gold rose. If a gold rose is not produced, the black rose will retain its golden flag until it successfully breeds a gold rose.

Duplicating Flowers

Players can duplicate flowers by watering them while ensuring they are not touching other flowers of the same species. This method allows for the creation of genetically identical flowers, offering a production boost of up to 80%. Additionally, having up to five visitors watering your flowers can further speed up the breeding process.

Conclusion

Flower breeding in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be a rewarding and exciting activity. By understanding the Mendelian genetic system and using the correct breeding combinations, players can create a wide array of vibrant flower colors. Experiment, be patient, and enjoy the beauty of your blooming creations in your virtual garden.
