Time Travel for Lily of the Valley Flowers

How to Get Lily of the Valley Flowers Fast
1	Create cliffs.
2	Time travel to the future.

1. Create cliffs big enough for Lily of the Valley

We recommend creating cliffs specifically for growing Lily of the Valley flowers.

Placing fences, items or other flowers on the southern edges of all other cliffs will prevent Lily of the Valley flowers from growing there, which means you only have to check your new cliffs for blooms every day.

How to Make Cliffs

2. Time travel and check for flowers

It's important to time travel to the future only one day at a time, as you may have to rid your cliff of weeds and check that your island rating stays at 5 stars.

Skipping multiple days at a time does not increase the spawn rate of Lily of the Valley flowers.
