Flowers can be bred to obtain new flower and pattern colors or to transfer pattern types between some flower types.

Note: If specifically trying to obtain the  red flowers for the Hello Kitty Red Bow Hello Kitty Red Bow, check the "Red Flowers Guide".

Crossbreeding

Most flower breeding involves breeding a flower with different flowers. This is also called crossbreeding.

Crossbreeding refers to any attempt to breed different flowers together to produce a specific result. Depending on the flowers involved, crossbreeding can be used to mix colors within a species, transfer colors between species, create new colors of patterned flowers within a species, or transfer patterns between species.

Crossbreeding requires that flowers be able to produce new spawns. Crossbreeding never alters a preexisting flower. The only change that can occur in existing plants is that non-patterned flowers may gain a default pattern (with the default pattern color) when Fertilizer Fertilizer is used on them.

Flowers can breed with each other if there is an empty plot touching two or more flowers. (Again, breeding does not alter planted seeds or plants.) If an empty plot is touching only one flower, seeds will always be a flower of the same type and primary color. A seed has a chance of appearing next to any plants that are old enough (grown or older), with a much higher chance if the plant is Fertilizer fertilized. The seed's parents are then selected from the plants directly touching the seed on any side. If this is pictured as a 3 by 3 square, a seed in the center square could have any plant in the 8 surrounding squares as a parent.

In other words, flowers do not need to touch to breed. They only need to be close enough to interact. Flowers spaced one plot apart will still have up to three plots where a seed that appears could be their child: the one directly between them and any plots that touch both parents diagonally.

Sometimes new spawns appear at a more advanced stage, sometimes even fully bloomed, instead of as seeds. This is not a bug and can occur in any plot where a plant at that stage was recently removed by troweling.

The table displays some examples of how two grown flowers interact with seeds/seedlings propagated from them, if there are no other flowers nearby to interact with the plots. The "Seed" plots must be kept empty to receive new spawns and should not be filled with other seeds. Only spawned seeds can have a new result from breeding the parents.

If multiple possible parents are in the 3 by 3 square, only two are picked as parents, so only two contribute to the seed's color and type. The selection of parents may be entirely random. Even if two compatible parent are chosen, the chance of a successful crossbreed is lower than the chance of getting a duplicate of either parent.

Fertilizer Fertilizer also helps crossbreeding by significantly increasing seed propagation. A fertilized plant has a 10% chance of spawning a seed in any empty plot around it. The effect is additive; each additional fertilized plant touching a particular empty plot has a 10% chance of propagating a seed into that plot. That makes the maximum chance 80% if a plot is surrounded on all sides by fertilized plants.

  • Fertilization is unecessary for the Greenhouse Greenhouse, which operates by different rules and has a 100% spawn rate in all empty plots touching a grown or older flower.
  • The boost from fertilizer only effects the plant for that day and does not apply to currently bloomed plants. Blooming resets a flower's fertilization status; to breed like a fertilized plant, it must be fertilized (again) after being plucked.

There are downsides to putting many flowers close together. More spaces taken up by plants means less spaces where new seeds can potentially appears. More plants close enough to breed also makes getting results from specific pairs of parents less likely. Arranging flowers so that only two plants can interact with empty plots is a good way to target specific crossbreeding results.

However, successful crossbreeding is not guaranteed even by limiting flowers' interactions. (For example, basic color mixes have about a 30% chance of success. Some results only have a 1% chance of success.) Plot layouts with more flowers and less predictable interactions can still be successful.

Applying Fertilizer Fertilizer to flowers is strongly recommended for all crossbreeding attempts if outside the Greenhouse Greenhouse. Crossbreeding is possible without Fertilizer Fertilizer, but the low chances of a spawn mean much fewer opportunities for success. If out of Fertilizer Fertilizer, the player can dig up and replant the flower to give it a similar breeding boost.

Example Pairs

The example crossbreeding pairs shown in the tables below do not have precise percentages listed. This is because the likelihood of any result can change depending on different factors, like if a pair is interacting with other flowers or if the pair is not in the Greenhouse Greenhouse. Getting results in the Greenhouse Greenhouse is much easier because of the 100% spawn rate.

However, if you would like to see exact percentages, you can preview all of the example pairs in the HKIA Flower Generator using this code.

Primary Colors

Primary colors (also called solid colors or sometimes just flower colors) refer to the only color that non-patterned flowers have or to the main color of flowers that have a pattern. The color of the pattern is called the secondary color.

The default colors of a flower type must be obtained planting Seed Seeds in the flower's home biome (for most flowers) or by opening additional Mystery Seed Capsule Mystery Seed Capsules from the Crane Craze "Crane Craze" mini game (for the non-default Merry Meadow Merry Meadow flowers).

New colors of event flowers must be bred in the Greenhouse Icon.png Greenhouse if outside of their event period. Default colors of event flowers must be obtained during their event.

Most flowers with only a primary color are able to be placed into the Icon interaction seed dispenser.png Seed Dispenser to produce new seed packets. This does not work for flowers that do not have seed packets (event flowers) or for flowers with a secondary trait (patterned flowers).

Primary Mixes

Flowers of the same type (for example, two bellbuttons) can produce seeds that mix their colors if their colors are compatible. Compatible flowers do not always produce crossbred colors; they also have a chance of producing a flower with only one of the parents' colors. This is the simplest type of crossbreeding.

Colors cannot be mixed to produce a default color for the same flower type.

If you would like to see exact percentages, you can preview the example pair in the HKIA Flower Generator using using this code.

Explanation of Possible Results from a Primary Mixing Attempt
Assuming that neither of the pair is patterned, the breeding pair can be thought of as follows:
  1. Color A of Flower Type 1 (in above example: Green Penstemum)
  2. Color B of Flower Type 1 (in above example: Yellow Penstemum)

The successful result would be a new spawn with the following:

  • Color C (from Color A + Color B) in Flower Type 1 (Lime Penstemum)

New spawns could also be clones of the breeding pair.

  • Color A of Flower Type 1 (Green Penstemum)
  • Color B of Flower Type 1 (Yellow Penstemum)

If either parent is patterned, possible results get more complicated and can include patterned clones of the patterned parent(s). Such a pair could also possibly create a hybrid.

Primary Transfers

Some colors cannot be cannot be mixed. Instead, if not normally present in one type of flower, their colors have to be transferred from one flower type to another.

Primary transfers, often simply called color transfers, are when a seed takes its type from one parent while taking its color from a patterned parent of a different type. In primary transfers, only the primary color transfers, not the pattern (secondary) color. Primary transfers require breeding a rare (patterned) flower of one type with a flower of another type to produce a flower with the solid color from the patterned flower and the type of the other flower. For example, to get a red bellbutton, you could cross:

  • a red & white ombré dandelily
  • any color of bellbutton

Primary transfers work even if the color can also be obtained through regular crossbreeding, but mixing has a significantly higher rate of success than transfers do.

Any patterned flower can successfully transfer its primary color to another flower type. However, this is not true if the patterned flower is the same color as a default color of the other flower type. A flower's default colors cannot be transferred into that same flower type. For example, you can't transfer solid blue into Bellbuttons.

Patterned event flowers can transfer their colors out to other flower types at any time of the year, but they can only parent new event flowers if inside the Greenhouse Icon.png Greenhouse unless their event is currently running.

If you would like to see exact percentages, you can preview the example pair in the HKIA Flower Generator using using this code.

Explanation of Possible Results from a Primary Transfer Attempt
If only one of the pair is patterned, the breeding pair can be thought of as follows:
  1. Color A & any color pattern of Flower Type 1 (in above example: White & Warm Pink Ombre Bellbutton)
  2. Color B of Flower Type 2 (in above example: Violet Tulias)

The successful result would be a new spawn with the following:

  • Color A in Flower Type 2 (White Tulias)

New spawns could also be clones of the breeding pair, but there is no chance of one keeping a pattern.

  • Color A, no pattern, in Flower Type 1 (White Bellbutton)
  • Color B in Flower Type 2 (Violet Tulias)

If both of the pair are patterned, the colors could transfer from either parent to the other's type. The chance of a particular transfer would be slightly lower, but the overall chance of either transferring would be significantly higher.

Breeding two different types of flowers together is also referred to as cross-type breeding (crossbreeding across types). Cross-type breeding can also be used for other kinds of transfers, so it does not only refer to primary transfers.

Secondary Traits and Hybrids

Secondary traits refer to a flower's secondary color (or pattern color) and pattern type. For example, a "violet & white speckled eggwort" has violet as its primary color, white as its secondary color, and speckled as its pattern type.

An effect is a secondary trait that behaves like a pattern but does not have a separate secondary color.

As previously mentioned, a preexisting flower can only gain its default secondary traits if Fertilizer Icon.png fertilized, and the chance of this happening is 1% with every application of Fertilizer Fertilizer at any stage of its growth, even after it has bloomed.

  • Regularly obtainable flowers default to the ombre ombré (also written as "ombre") pattern, while event flowers have different patterns or effects.
  • By default, flowers of most colors gain a  white pattern. Because patterns cannot be the same color as the flower,  white flowers receive a  warm pink pattern instead.
  • Flowers with effects only have a primary color.

A hybrid refers to flowers with non-default pattern colors obtained through breeding patterned flowers of the same flower type together. A popular term for hybrids among fan communities is double, but "hybrid" is the official terminology.

Just like primary colors, secondary traits (pattern type and/or color) are transferable from one type of flower to another when a pair of parents to a new spawn. A pattern transfer is a transfer of secondary traits between different flower types.

Not all flower types are compatible with all pattern types. However, any primary color of flower can have any other color as its pattern color. For example, a red flower can never get a red pattern, but a red flower can be hybridized to get a warm pink pattern.

Even if outside of the Greenhouse Icon.png Greenhouse, patterned event flowers can transfer their patterns out to other flower types at any time of the year.

Hybridization

Hybridization involves breeding two patterned flowers that belong to the same type of flower. It is essentially an in-type secondary color transfer. A successful transfer results in a child flower that has the primary color & pattern type of one parent flower, while the primary color of the other parent flower transfers into the pattern color for the child flower. A flower with a non-default pattern color is called a "hybrid" according to Wish me mell Icon.webp Wish me mell.

If you would like to see exact percentages, you can preview the example pair in the HKIA Flower Generator using using this code.

Explanation of Possible Results from a Hybridization Attempt
The breeding pair must be of the same flower type and can be thought of as follows. "Color A", "Color B", etc. all stand in for any color name and "Pattern 1" and "Pattern 2" stand in for pattern names:
  1. Color A & Color Y Pattern 1 (in above example: Blue & White Ombre Tulias)
  2. Color B & Color Z Pattern 2 (in above example: Yellow & White Ombre Tulias)

When bred, the primary color of one parent can combine with the primarycolor of the other parent. Depending on the colors involved, this may end up looking like a failed hybridization attempt. For example, the same primary and secondary color would make a solid flower with no pattern.

  • Color A & Color B Pattern 1 (Blue & Yellow Ombre Tulias: successful hybrid)
  • Color B & Color A Pattern 2 (Yellow & Blue Ombre Tulias: a successful hybrid)

If the patterns of the parents are not the same, the pattern type remains linked with the original primary color. For example, if the parents are blue & white trim and yellow & white ombre, the trim will only ever appear on blue flowers and the ombre will stay on yellow flowers.

If the hybrid attempt is unsuccessful, one possible (but unlikely) result is a clone of one of the parents.

  • Color A & Color Y Pattern 1 (Blue & White Ombre Tulias)
  • Color B & Color Z Pattern 2 (Yellow & White Ombre Tulias)

If the original color isn’t a default pattern color, the clone might lose that pattern color. (This means white patterns for most flowers and warm pink patterns for white flowers.)

  • Color A & default color Pattern 1 (Blue & White Ombre Tulias)
  • Color B & default color Pattern 2 (Yellow & White Ombre Tulias)

Alternatively, the clone loses its pattern entirely. (This is the most likely result.)

  • Color A, no pattern (Blue Tulias)
  • Color B, no pattern (Yellow Tulias)

If the primary colors can mix (like blue + yellow for green), there is a final possible result from primary mixing:

  • whatever color comes from A+B, no pattern (Green Tulias)

The pattern type of both parents does not have to be the same. However, hybridization will never transfer a pattern type to a different primary color. For example, breeding a mint & white trim hibiscus with a hot pink & white ombre hibiscus has only two results with hybrid colors: mint & hot pink trim hibiscus and hot pink & mint ombre hibiscus. It cannot produce a hot pink & mint trim or a hot pink & white trim hibiscus.

Discord user lemonade_66 posing with a yellow & green ombre bellbutton, the first ever non-default pattern posted to the official Discord.

Obtaining a new secondary color is also possible through in-type by breeding using one patterned and one non-patterned flower, but only if a non-patterned flower has a primary color that is compatible for mixing with the primary color of a patterned flower. For example, a yellow & white ombre bellbutton is theoretically compatible with a green bellbutton, allowing a yellow & green ombre bellbutton to spawn.

This was the normal way of creating hybrids before version 1.7 and still works, but the chances of success are much lower with this method. A hybrid result is much more likely if both parents are patterned, and the newer method also allows for more color combinations.

Explanation of Possible Results from Hybridization Attempt with Mixable Colors
The breeding pair must be of the same flower type and can be thought of as follows:
  1. Color A & any color of any pattern type (in above example: White & Warm Pink Ombre Penstemum)
  2. Color B (in above example: Coral Penstemum)

If Color A and Color B can mix to produce Color C, the pair can produce a successful hybrid.

  • Color A & Color B Pattern (White & Coral Ombre Penstemum)

If the hybridization is unsuccessful, the spawn can be a clone of one of the parents.

  • Color A & original color Pattern (White & Warm Pink Ombre Penstemum)
  • Color A & default color Pattern (White & Warm Pink Ombre Penstemum)
  • Color A, no pattern (White Penstemum)
  • Color B, no pattern (Coral Penstemum)

Because the colors are mixable, there is also a chance of making a new color without a pattern.

  • Color C, no pattern, where C is the result of A+B (Blush Penstemum)

Pattern Transfers

Pattern transfers are when secondary traits transfer across flower types. The child flower takes its flower type from one parent while taking its pattern type and/or pattern color from a patterned parent of a different type. The primary colors for the patterned flower and the other type of flower must be the same.

This is usually done with one patterned parent and one solid-colored parent with a matching primary color. For example, an orange & white trim marigold crossed with an orange bellbutton could produce a orange & white trim bellbutton.

Explanation of Possible Results from Pattern Transfer
The breeding pair must be from different flower types of the same color and can be thought of as follows:
  1. Color A & Color B Pattern of Flower Type 1 (Sky & Green Speckled Eggwort*)
  2. Color A of Flower Type 2 (Sky Dandelily)

If Color B is not a default color, a fully successful transfer would give Flower Type 2 both the pattern and pattern color.

  • Color A & Color B Pattern in Flower Type 2 (Sky & Green Speckled Dandelily)

If the transfer is unsuccessful, the spawn can be a clone of one of the parents. Clones can lose their secondary traits.

  • Color A & Color B Pattern, Flower Type 1 (Sky & Green Speckled Eggwort*)
  • Color A, no pattern, in Flower Type 1 (Sky Eggwort*)
  • Color A, no pattern, in Flower Type 2 (Sky Dandelily)

*Reminder: Event flowers cannot spawn outside of event periods unless in the Greenhouse.

The potential results expand if both parents are patterned. In those cases, transfers could occur in either direction. The primary colors must still match.

Explanation of Possible Results from Pattern Transfer using 2 Flowers with Patterns
The breeding pair must be from different flower types of the same color and can be thought of as follows:
  1. Color A & Color B Pattern 1 of Flower Type 1 (in example above: White & Warm Pink Speckled Eggwort)
  2. Color A & Color C Pattern 2 of Flower Type 2 (in example above: White & Violet Ombre Penstemum)

Since both flower types have patterns, transfers can occur in either direction. If Colors B and C are not default colors, a fully successful transfer would transfer the color with the pattern.

  • Color A & Color C Pattern 2 in Flower Type 1 (White & Violet Ombre Eggwort*)
  • Color A & Color B Pattern 1 in Flower Type 2 (White & Warm Pink Speckled Penstemum)

Less successful results may only transfer the pattern or the color.

  • Color A & Color C Pattern 1 in Flower Type 1 (White & Violet Speckled Eggwort*)
  • Color A & Color B Pattern 2 in Flower Type 1 (White & Warm Pink Ombre Eggwort*)
  • Color A & Color B Pattern 2 in Flower Type 2 (White & Warm Pink Ombre Penstemum)
  • Color A & Color C Pattern 1 in Flower Type 2 (White & Violet Speckled Penstemum)

Alternatively, the result could be a clone, and it could possibly lose its pattern entirely.

  • Color A & Color B Pattern 1 of Flower Type 1 (White & Warm Pink Speckled Eggwort)
  • Color A & Color C Pattern 2 of Flower Type 2 (White & Violet Ombre Penstemum)
  • Color A, no pattern, of Flower Type 1 (White Eggwort*)
  • Color A, no pattern, of Flower Type 2 (White Penstemum)

*Reminder: Event flowers cannot spawn outside of event periods unless in the Greenhouse.

Below are all the patterns that flowers can get, either by default or by transfer. Default pattern types can still be transferred to other flowers that get the same pattern as a default. The same rules apply to patterns with non-default colors.

Notes:

  • In a future version, the name of the "Patch" pattern may change to "Checker" or "Checkered".
  • 'The Frost Pattern.png Frost and Molten Pattern.png Molten effects cannot possibly be transferred to any other type at this time, but all effects so far have been transferable to all other types.

Single Flower Reproduction

A flower by itself can still reproduce.

A single flower here refers to an individual flower that is isolated from and unable to breed with other flowers. In other words, it is a flower with no other flowers within two plots of it. The examples shown in the tables on this page do not have precise percentages because the likelihood of any result can change if the flower is planted in different locations. (For example, getting results in the Greenhouse Greenhouse is much easier because of the 100% spawn rate.)

If you would like to see exact percentages for all of the following examples, you can preview them in the HKIA Flower Generator using this code.

Singular Solid

A flower that only has a primary color (also called solid color) that is isolated from breeding with another flower is referred to here as a singular solid flower. A singular solid flower can produce seeds only within the 3x3 region that surrounds the flower. The seeds produced by a singular solid flower will be the same type and color as the singular solid flower.

Example of Singular Solid Flower
Parent Possible Offspring
Parent A

When planted in the Greenhouse Greenhouse, every empty plot around the parent has a 100% spawn rate for a flower that is same type and color as the singular solid flower. When not planted in the Greenhouse Greenhouse, a fertilized parent has a 10% chance of producing a flower that is same type and color as the singular solid flower in any empty plot around the parent.

If you would like to see exact percentages for yourself, you can preview the example using the HKIA Flower Generator using this code.

Singular Patterned

A flower that has a primary color (also called solid color) and a pattern, that is isolated from breeding with another flower is referred to here as a singular patterned flower. A singular patterned flower can produce seeds only within the 3x3 region that surrounds the flower. The seeds produced by a singular patterned flower will be the same type of flower, and can either be:

  1. A solid color of the parent flower.
  2. A flower that has the same primary color and pattern as the parent flower.

If you would like to see exact percentages for yourself, you can preview the example using the HKIA Flower Generator using this code.

Singular patterned flowers that have a hybrid (non-default) secondary color will not generate a flower that has a hybrid secondary color. The secondary color will always be the default  white or  warm pink, depending on the primary color of the patterned flower.
