Purple windflowers are impossible

They won't for me either. TT ^ TT I've been trying to breed purple windflowers and purple hyacinths and at this point I'm questioning whether I have a special copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons that just....obliterates any purple flowers.

I *just* got one randomly from a bunch of windflowers I wasn't paying attention to, but knowing my luck I won't be able to produce a second. The purple flowers are so hard to breed in this game until you have a few and then they spawn like weeds, at least in my experience!
Why won’t they spawn?!?. I’ve tried blue blue and blue pink. They just won’t appear. So sad.
I happen to have two extra purple windflowers and can give you each one! If you leave it by itself and water it it'll eventually make more

Flowers in ACNH use actual genetics so you can't breed just by color. You need hybrid red and/or pink to get purple.

What kinds of Blue and Pink Windflowers are you using to breed for Purples? If you're using Blues from White x White or Pinks from Red x Orange, that won't work. Blues and Pinks require a specific set of genes to make Purples when you combine them; these were easily found on the Hybrid Mystery Tour Islands. But "standard" Blues and Pinks won't work.
Here's a guide you can use. In summary, you'll want to get Blues from seed White x White. Breed the Blues with seed Reds. You'll get Reds with a specific set of genes that can be bred together to get Purples.

Because those are the wrong crosses and even then, you only have a 6% chance. Here's what you should do:Why won’t they spawn?!?
seed red x blue = red*
red* x red* = purple (6%) and blue or blue*
test for blue*: blue* x seed orange = pink (50%)
blue* x blue* = purple (25%)
Mine took forever to breed as well. I just left a bunch of orange ones alone and one day, after it had rained, my first purple showed up. Now I have a bunch of them so I can also give some to any of you if you want

Lol I'm so sorry for your struggles but I had 2 spawn randomly after rain, I want even trying.

I.........I didn't realize it was this convoluted and intense. OTL Looks like I have to redo everything. TT v TT
AAAA I rly appreciate that! I wanna figure this out on my own though, but I really appreciate the offer. ; v ; ♥I happen to have two extra purple windflowers and can give you each one! If you leave it by itself and water it it'll eventually make more
The best rate on the calculator and genetics I've been looking at briefly is only a 6.25% chance, by doing White seeds x White seeds = Blue (25% chance). That blue crossed with a red from seeds gives a red we will denote as Red-2. Red-2 crossed with another Red-2 has a 6.25% chance for purple, 18.75% chance for white and blue, and 56.25% chance of red.
I'm going to look into it more later tonight to hopefully find a better odds route myself using the Garden Science calc.

I understand your struggle ughh I tried breeding them with hybrid red from pinks, people say it's a higher chance like this, but I never managed to get one myself, I just bought some.

I was JUST about to offer you some purple windflowers too because I have an entire beach full of them. I have too much. Ugh.
Good luck on your quest though.

Oh, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll keep trying to grow some! I should have the right flowers with the right genetics to breed them; it's just a matter of waiting at this point~
So, Orange Seeds x Red Seeds make a Pink 100% of the time, 1-1-0 genetic code. White seeds x White seeds creates a blue 25% of the time, 0-0-2 genetics. Crossing the Pink 1-1-0 and the Blue 0-0-2 will give a pink 25% 1-1-1 (only this genetic code will be produced), white seed gene windflowers 0-0-1 25%, red windflowers 1-0-1 and orange 0-1-1. Orange 0-1-1 discard. Whites can be used for more blues.
The reds and pinks can be crossed with themselves, or each other to get a 6.25% chance for a purple.
Going the route of two red 1-0-1's though, you have a higher chance of creating a rare island blue windflower (12.5%) however 6.25% of the chance you will get a 0-0-2 blue. Getting 2 Rare Island blues (1-0-2) gives a 25% chance for a purple, so is worth going the red route if you can.
Hope this helps a little too @Skyfall
I have been playing around a lot with gardenscience.ac lol
