How to Get Hyacinths | Using Hyacinths as a DIY Material

Animal Crossing New Horizons (ACNH) Hyacinths

This is a guide for the hyacinth flowers found in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH). See how to get Hyacinths, as well as lists of Hyacinth colors and Hyacinth DIYs.

How to Get Hyacinths

Buy Hyacinth Seeds

ACNH - Leif

You can buy hyacinth seeds from Nook's Cranny or from Leif's Garden Shop. One bag of hyacinth seeds costs 240 bells while five bags cost 1200 bells.

This is by far the most recommended method to get Hyacinths, as getting them any other way requires a bit of luck.

Use Hyacinths for Flower Breeding

ACNH - Hyacinth Flower Breeding

For the rare colors like blue hyacinths and orange hyacinths, you need to breed the normal colors and work towards the flower that you want, as these don't grow in the wild.

Find them on Your Island

Red, yellow, and white hyacinths may grow on your island if your birthday is between February 1st and April 30th. The wild hyacinths will grow on top of the cliffs on your island, so you need access to those first.

Use a Ladder to Get the Flowers

To access the Hyacinths on your cliffs, make and use a Ladder through DIY.

How to Climb Cliffs

Get them from Mystery Tours

If hyacinths are not growing natively on your island, there is a chance they might grow on Mystery Islands. Note that Mystery Islands can only ever give you one other type of flower, so you're not guaranteed to find hyacinths on them.

Trade Online

If you're struggling to get a specific flower type or hybrid color, trading with others online might be the quickest way to get them!
