Animal Crossing New Horizons | Guide to hybrid flowers and all their combinations
In the same way as in previous installments of Animal Crossing New Horizons , we can plant various types of flowers to decorate our entire island. By making a specific mixture between them, new variants are born, called hybrid flowers. In this guide, you will find all the mixtures available to get this unique type of flower.
How to get hybrid flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons
First of all, you’ll need to get some seeds at the MiniNook store or by buying them from Gandulio when he comes to your island, although if you have all the shops on Faunus Cay unlocked, you can pay him a quick visit to grab a couple of them.
I recommend that you leave a somewhat large space on your island if what you want is to get several, however, a small piece is fine.
Well, to start, you will have to plant the flowers in an orderly manner, therefore, it would not hurt to mark the area where you are going to plant these seeds. For example, in the following way:

In this case, we will make a 5×5 square so that there is enough space for more flowers to sprout. Next, we will plant 5 seeds in an X shape .

Once planted, you will only have to water them once a day with the metal watering can, since the flimsy one only covers one, and what we need is for them to mix. If it rains or snows , the flowers will be watered automatically. They will take 2 days to grow , although if you prefer, you can try the time change trick in case you need them urgently, although I do not recommend it.
When they grow, the next day new flowers will begin to sprout around the ones already planted, although you have to know that it is not 100% certain that a hybrid flower will appear, but there are many possibilities , so if you get a flower from the same color as those you have planted, you have no choice but to repeat the formula.

The only one that does not appear on this list is the most special of all , since it cannot be obtained so easily. To get the golden roses , you will have to get black roses, which you will have to plant and water with the gold watering can to get them, since if you try with a metal or flimsy one, they will never sprout.
