All flowers have a default pattern. Players must fertilize a non-patterned flower for a chance of turning it into a patterned flower. Flowers with a pattern are referred to as rare flowers but do not have a different rarity in the inventory.

About Patterns

A pattern has a 1% chance of appearing when Fertilizer is applied to flowers at any stage. Fertilizer can even turn freshly-planted Seeds patterned, and it can still change plants that have previously bloomed. The plant, not just the flower it is currently growing, is what gains the pattern, so the plant will continue to grow patterned flowers after it is plucked. If a seed or sprout is fertilized and becomes patterned before being dug up with the Trowel, it will retain its pattern even when turned into a seed packet by the Trowel.

Therefore, while trying to obtain patterned flowers, the player should fertilize whenever possible for the most opportunities at transforming the plant. Once a plant is patterned, Fertilizer cannot alter its pattern.

Unlike most non-patterned flowers, plucked patterned blossoms cannot be turned into seed packets with the Seed Dispenser. However, patterned blossoms, seedlings, and seed packets can still get turned into Fertilizer using the Composter. Patterned plants can also make more patterned plants through certain kinds of breeding.

The default color of all patterns is █ white on all flowers except white flowers, which receive a █ warm pink pattern instead. The color of the pattern is also called the flower's secondary color.

Effects are special patterns that do not have a separate color for their pattern. However, they behave like patterns in every other way.

Uses

Patterned flowers are the only way to transfer colors or patterns between different types of flowers.

Primary Transfers: breeding colors into other flower types.
Hybridization: breeding non-default pattern colors.
Pattern Transfers: breeding patterns into compatible flower types.

To breed all colors into all flower types, the players will need patterned flowers in █ white, █ red, █ yellow, █ sky, █ blue, and █ hot pink. Those colors cannot be produced by mixing other colors.

Patterned flowers, like other flowers, are also usable for crafting several items at the Creation Station. They are required to craft the Rare Candle and Tall Rare Candle.

Hybrids

For specifics of how to breed hybrids, refer to the "Hybridization" section of the "Breeding (Flowers)" page.

Hybrids are patterned flowers with non-default colors. For example, a █ red flower with a █ coral pattern would be a hybrid.

To get hybrid colors, two patterned flowers of the same type and different colors should be bred together. The spawn of two such flowers have a 1% chance of the flower color of one flower becoming the pattern color of the other flower. This does mean a 2% total chance of a hybrid for most color combinations. (That is reduced to 1% if one is a white flower because white is a default pattern color for other flower colors.)

Examples of hybrids include a White & Coral Ombre Penstemum or a Blue & Yellow Ombre Tulias.

Pattern Transfers

For specifics of how to breed (transfer) a pattern into another type, refer to the "Pattern Transfers" section of the "Breeding (Flowers)" page. For a chart of transferable patterns, check the "Pattern Chart" on the same page.

If a flower of a certain color with a pattern is bred with a different type of flower with the same flower color, new spawns with both flowers as parents have a 1% chance of being the same type as the second flower but with the first flower's pattern ― but only if the second flower type is compatible with the pattern.

Not all flowers are compatible with all flower types. So far, it appears that only the ombre pattern and any effects are compatible with all flower types.
