How to Grow Flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons

Growing flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons is one of many activities that you can do in the game as soon as you unlock access to flowers and the watering can recipe. Now, once the game does give you flowers, it doesn’t really explain how to grow them. It’s not very complicated, but it might stump some people. With all that said, here’s our How to Grow Flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons guide to help you out.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Flowers – How to Grow?

To grow flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you have to plant them and water them regularly. Of course, you first have to obtain some flowers. We got out first bag of red-mum from Nook after bringing him several different creatures. After that, you can purchase flowers freely from the store. Either way, you have to hand over several creatures to Nook to unlock the option to grow flowers. That’ll also unlock the recipe for the Flimsy Watering Can. You’ll need five Softwood to craft the Watering Can, so do just that.

Once you have everything you need, find a patch of grass or dirt that’s convenient for you. Click on the flower bag in your inventory (red-mum in our case), then select Plant 1. Plant as many as you want, however you want. Then, select the watering can and hold it in your hand, then use it to water your flowers. The ones you have watered will glimmer every so often until tomorrow at around 6 AM. The flowers you don’t water will start to wilt and turn brown. If you don’t water them then, they’ll be dead the next day. My bad, the flowers do not wilt after all.

And that’s about it when it comes to growing flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons. If you have any more questions, let us know in the comments.
