Okay, so I’ve been obsessed with Animal Crossing: New Horizons lately, and I really wanted to get my hands on some blue hyacinths. They’re just so pretty! I heard they were kinda tricky to breed, so I decided to give it a shot and document the whole process.
First, I went ahead and bought a bunch of white and red hyacinth seeds from the shop. I made sure to have plenty of space on my island, and then I planted them in a checkerboard pattern. It felt a bit tedious, but I really wanted those blue hyacinths.

The Waiting Game
I watered those flowers every single day. I mean, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I even talked to them, hoping it would help. My friends called me crazy. I don’t know how long it took, maybe a few days or a week, I kinda lost track. But finally, I spotted some white hyacinths growing from the white ones I planted. This was a good sign, I thought!
Next, I carefully dug up the new white hyacinths and moved them to a new area. I planted them in their own little patch, still in that checkerboard style. More waiting, more watering… seriously, so much watering!
Blue at Last!
And then, one glorious morning, I saw it. A single, beautiful blue hyacinth had bloomed! I was so excited, I did a little happy dance right there in my living room. It felt like such a huge accomplishment.
I continued to water the white hyacinths, and eventually, more blue ones started popping up. Now I have a whole field of them, and they look absolutely stunning. My island looks great!
- Buy red and white hyacinth seeds.
- Plant them in a checkerboard pattern.
- Water them daily until new white hyacinths grow from the originals.
- Move the new white hyacinths to a separate area and plant in a checkerboard.
- Water daily again.
- Enjoy your blue hyacinths!
It was a bit of a process, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re trying to breed blue hyacinths in Animal Crossing, just be patient and keep at it. You’ll get there!
