Well now, let’s talk about them purple mums in that there Animal Crossing game, the one the young’uns are always playin’. Don’t know much about these fancy games, but I hear tell folks are hankerin’ after these purple flowers. So, let’s figure out how to get ’em, shall we?
First off, you gotta get yourself some seeds. Head on over to that Nook’s Cranny place. Yep, that’s where they sell all sorts of things. You’ll be lookin’ for mum seeds, the regular red and yellow ones. Don’t go buyin’ no fancy ones, just the plain ol’ red and yellow. Nook’s got ’em, he always does. He’s got a good business, that Nook fella.

- Get Red Mum Seeds
- Get Yellow Mum Seeds
Now, the trick is, you can’t just plant them and expect purple flowers to pop up. That ain’t how it works, no sirree. You gotta do some breedin’, like with chickens, but with flowers. It’s a whole process, I tell ya. First, you plant them red seeds and them yellow seeds. Water ’em good, make sure they grow big and strong.
Once they bloom, them red and yellow mums, they ain’t the ones you want yet. You gotta take a red one and a yellow one and plant ’em side by side. Leave a space empty, you hear? That’s important. They’ll make a new yellow mum, a special one. This ain’t just any yellow mum, it’s a hybrid yellow mum, see? It’s like mixin’ two different kinds of dogs to get a new kind, only with flowers. It’s nature, I guess.
Now, you take two of these special yellow mums, the ones you just bred. Plant them together, just like before, with a space empty. And then you wait. And you water. And you wait some more. It takes time, nothin’ good happens fast. And if you’re lucky, if you done it all right, you’ll get a purple mum! Sometimes you even get a green one too, fancy that! But it ain’t always a sure thing, mind you. Sometimes you get more yellow ones. Just keep at it, you’ll get them purples eventually.
So, let’s recap, so you don’t get all confused:
- Buy red and yellow mum seeds at Nook’s Cranny.
- Plant the red and yellow seeds.
- Breed a red mum and a yellow mum to get a hybrid yellow mum.
- Breed two hybrid yellow mums to get a purple mum (and maybe a green one!).
Some folks say there’s other ways, but this is the way I heard it told. And it makes sense, you know, plantin’ and breedin’. It’s like workin’ the land, you gotta put in the effort to get somethin’ good out of it. These purple mums in Animal Crossing ain’t just gonna magically appear, after all.
Now, some of them youngsters, they talk about “mechanics” and “hybrid breeding.” Don’t know what all that fancy talk means. To me, it’s just plantin’ and waitin’ and seein’ what comes up. It’s like farmin’, you plant seeds, you tend to ‘em, and you hope for the best. And sometimes, you get somethin’ special, like them purples.
And there you have it. That’s how you get them purple mums ACNH, as the young’uns call it. It ain’t rocket science, just good ol’ fashioned plantin’ and breedin’. Now go on and get yourself a whole field of them purple beauties. They’re mighty pretty, I hear.
Remember to water your plants every day so they grow big and strong, and don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away. Just keep tryin’, and you’ll have them purple mums before you know it. It just takes a bit of patience and a little bit of luck. Good luck with them flowers!
Key takeaway: Plant Red and Yellow -> Hybrid Yellow -> Plant Hybrid Yellow x Hybrid Yellow = Purple Mum ( and sometime Green Mum ) That’s it, simple as that.
So next time you are playing that Animal Crossing game and you want them Purple Mums Animal Crossing, you’ll know just what to do. No need to go askin’ around, you just remember what I told ya. It ain’t hard, not even for an old lady like me to understand, and it sure ain’t hard for you young’uns neither.
