Get Flower Bags From Timmy

shop

You can purchase flower seeds at Nook's Cranny for 240 bells. The variety of seeds you can get is limited so you'll need to cross-pollinate in order to get new flowers!

Each Island Has Different Buyable Flower Seeds

Depending on the island you live on, the product line-up for the flower seeds will differ. Visit other players' islands in order to get different flower seeds.

Plant Flower Bag (Seed)

flowers

Find an open space and plant your seeds. You don't need any tools to plant flowers. The flower will grow in the tile you are currently standing on.

Use Watering Can To Flowers

watering effect

You can use the Watering Can to water your flowers. However, this does not significantly change the speed at which flowers grow! Perhaps watering a plant has something to do with cross pollination - we will provide updates once we've established a pattern.

No Need To Water On Rainy Days

When it's raining, all the flowers will automatically be watered. You don't need to use the watering can on these days.

Flowers Bloom In Approx. 4 Days

garden

Flowers bloom in approximately 4 days. Wait patiently until your flowers bloom.

Don't Run Over Flowers

run

When you run over a flower, its petals will scatter and fall on the ground. Use fences to prevent other players from running over them.

How To Move Flowers

You Need A Shovel

shovel

In order to change the position of a flower, you have to uproot the whole flower with a shovel. This way, you can get a flower plant. If you press "Y" on the flower, you will only pick the flower and the root will be left behind.

From what I remember Tommy saying, watering the plants is the only way they will cross-pollinate, otherwise they’ll just grow normally.
