How to Cross Breed Flowers

Get them from Mystery Tours

ACNH - Wilbur offers tools for sale during a Mystery Island Tour

There is a chance that Purple Hyacinths 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 Purple 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!

How to Multiply Purple Hyacinths

Clone the Purple Hyacinths you have

The easiest way to get Purple Hyacinths is to clone the ones you have. To clone flowers, plant them somewhere where they aren't touching any other flowers of their type and water them every day.

Repeat the Breeding Process

Once you get Purple Hyacinths to grow, you can repeat the process to get more. These flowers are used to make other hybrid flowers as well, so why not grow a lot while you're at it?
