Alright, so I’ve been playing a ton of Animal Crossing: New Horizons lately, and let me tell you, the flower breeding in this game is a whole other level of dedication. I’ve been trying to get all the colors of mums, specifically white mums, and it’s been quite the journey. I figured I’d share my experience here for anyone else who’s trying to deck out their island with these beauties.
First off, I had to get my hands on some mum seeds. Initially, I checked Nook’s Cranny. They sell flower seeds, but it’s a bit of a gamble because they only stock certain types each day. I got lucky a couple of times and snagged some red and yellow mum seeds. I hear Leif, the traveling merchant, is also a good source for seeds, but he hasn’t shown up on my island in a while. If you want to be safe, go to Nook’s Cranny first.

Once I had the seeds, I planted them in a nice little spot on my island. I made sure to leave some space between them because I knew they would eventually sprout. I watered them every day, like a good plant parent, eagerly waiting to see what colors would pop up.
Eventually, my patience paid off, and I started seeing some mums blooming! I got a bunch of red and yellow ones, which was cool, but I really wanted those white mums. Now, here’s where the real “fun” began.
I remembered reading somewhere that white mums could be grown from seeds. So I bought another round of red and yellow mum seeds and planted them. This time I kept those yellows in another place to prevent them from messing up my breeding. And about 25% of them turned into purple mums! I am so excited about that!
I kept watering all the flowers every day, and then, like magic, a few white mums finally appeared! They were so pretty, and I was super proud of myself for finally getting them. I immediately moved them to a special spot in my garden where I’m showcasing all my rare flowers.
Tips for Growing White Mums
Here’s a quick rundown of what I learned from this whole process:
- Seeds are key: You can get white mums from seeds. Be patient and keep trying. Nook’s Cranny and Leif are your best friends here.
- Water them every day: Don’t forget to water your flowers, or they won’t grow or breed.
- Be patient: Flower breeding takes time. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results immediately.
- Have fun: Remember, it’s just a game! Enjoy the process and the satisfaction of finally getting those white mums.
So there you have it, my adventure in growing white mums in Animal Crossing. It was definitely a bit of a grind, but so worth it in the end. Now my island is looking even more beautiful, and I’ve got a nice little collection of white mums to show off. If you’re also trying to get these flowers, don’t give up! With a little patience and effort, you’ll have your own white mum garden in no time.
