Among pansies, Purple Pansies are one of the most difficult flower hybrids to make. Cross pollinating these can take a lot of time, even with time travelling.

Steps to breed Purple Pansies

You need a Red Hybrid Pansy

The first step in making Purple Pansies is to gather up some Red and Blue Pansies to make Blue Hybrid Pansies. Cross pollinate Blue Hybrid Pansies and Red Pansies from seeds to create Red Hybrid Pansies. Lastly, cross pollinate two Red Hybrid Pansies to make Purple Pansies.

Note that the pansies 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.

Purple Pansies may not grow the next day

Even if you've fulfilled all the preconditions for Cross Pollination, Purple Pansies 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 Pansies 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 Pansies on them.
