Flowers must be the same species and compatible colours, if you use the search function on this forum there’s a wonderful guide that can teach you all you need to know, that said should any further assistance I am happy to be of service.

It's simple, just place flowers of different colors beside each other (or diagonal) (only certain colors will breed and make a hybrid one) you also need to water the flowers to for a chance for them to reproduce, if different players from other Nintendo Switches visit your island and water your flowers, there is a higher chance for the flowers to reproduce and give you a hybrid flower! If you simply search on google "ACNH Flower Crossbreeding guide" There are some helpful images that can show you what colors of flowers will breed with each other and the percent chance to get that hybrid flower as well. I wish you luck in your flower tending adventures!
It doesn't matter how they're arranged, as long as there is space for a bud to spawn around the pair you're breeding. I've had equal success with them in a row as I have with them in a checkerboard.

Flowers within the same kind can breed, they can't interbreed.
I typically (except for Windflowers and Pansies) plant them in a checkerboard shape, so that when they breed there will be room for the new hybrids. In the middle of my roses I plant Lily of the Valleys which are supposed to make the chances for hybrids to go up.
Anyway, in order to get hybrid colors you need to plant certain color Flowers with another certain color. For instance Red Roses close to White Roses can breed Pink Roses, etc. etc.

I typically make a checkerboard pattern with flowers to make hybrids. You can't breed different species of flowers together though.
If you water them every day, and get friends to water them, it's usually not to difficult to get them!

I've had success with the checkerboard pattern!

Could you pass the senbei?
I breed mine in an X like pattern with the flowers at the 4 points of the X and at the middle
It gives flowers room to grow inbetween

x pattern isn't really a good pattern to use, since the way it is set will leave watered flowers without a partner, which will just cause them to clone instead of breed and you may end up thinking you got something, when you just got an extra of the same flower. Diamond patterns or pairs of two are best, since this way it'll always have a partner.

I put mine in rows of Xs and all of my flowers have bred perfectly fine? I'm sure there may be better strategies but I'm just sharing mine!
Edit: typo
If you're doing a grid like (x = flower, o = empty) this, then its fine though you will still have flowers clone themselves still, just not as many:
xoxoxoxoxoxox
oxoxoxoxoxoxo
xoxoxoxoxoxox
But if you're just doing:
xox
oxo
xox
then it's less fine because you will only generally get a single breeding pair, while the remaining 3 flowers will just clone themselves. Not very efficient.
I personally use this layout:
xxoxx
oooo
xxoxx
oooo
xxoxx
or this, but horizontally. This way I always have a breeding pair.
The diamond pattern is personally the best, but its probably a bit annoying to 'draw' out with text, lol:
oxo
xox
oxo
but you do it multiple times, but not touching other diamonds. This one also always has a breeding pair, no flowers that will clone.

I do use the top one in the rows haha
Luckily my flower breeding days are almost over so I'm glad to get this flower business over with. These flowers and their genetics are too much work
Definitely a lot to take in, but its pretty straightforward. Just frustrating, especially with the low spawn rates because they pegged the normal rate down so hard due to the multiple visitor bonus they added. +5% is definitely not a huge increase.
