ACNH - Flowers needed to grow Purple Mum

The first step in making Purple Mums is to gather up two White Mums. Note that the mums you use will need to have been bought from Nook's Cranny as seeds, as the ones growing natively on your island have random cross pollination patterns.

Note: Mums that are native to your island have random cross pollination patterns. The information given here will only cover flowers bought from a store.

Steps to breed Purple Mums

1 Gather two White Mums.
2 Plant them so they are next to each other.
3 Water them with your Watering Can.
4 Check for new flowers next day and repeat from step 3 if there are none.

Purple Mums may not grow the next day

Even if you've fulfilled all the preconditions for Cross Pollination, Purple Mums may not grow the very next day. If there are no new flowers, you'll simply have to continue watering them.

Get them from Mystery Tours

There is a chance that Purple Mums 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 Mums on them.

How to Multiply Purple Mums

Clone the Purple Mums you have

The easiest way to get Purple Mums for sure 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. Eventually, they will make a copy of themselves in one of the empty spaces!

Repeat the Breeding Process

Once you get Purple Mums 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?
