ACNH - Flowers needed to grow Black Lily

Black Lilies may not grow the next day

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

How to Multiply Black Lilies

Clone the Black Lilies you have

The easiest way to get Black Lilies 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 Black Lilies 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?
