How to make perfect Hybrids. As told by SCOTCH on Animal Crossing Community.

Hybrid Guide
Hybrids are flowers that sometimes sprout when 2 certain flowers are planted next or diagonal to each other. The color of the flowers bred together determine the color of the crossbreed. For example, a red rose and a yellow rose can make an orange rose, and a red rose and a white rose can make a pink rose. Here is the list of crossbreeding outcomes/how to get certain hybrids:
Random Plants:
Dandelions: Randomly grows in town
Dandelion puffs: Let dandelions wither and they'll become puffs
Jacob's Ladder: Randomly grows in town with perfect town status
Four-Leaf Clover: Rarely grows in town, often found as though withered
Tulips:
Red + White: Pink, Red, or White
Red + Yellow: Purple, Red, or Yellow
Red + Red: Black or Red
Yellow + Yellow: Black or Yellow
Pansies:
Red + Red: Purple or Red

Roses:
Red + White: Pink, Red, or White
Red + Yellow: Orange, Red, or Yellow
White + White: Purple or White
Red + Red: Black or Red
Purple + Black: Blue, Purple, or Black
Withered Black + Watered with golden can: Gold

Interesting/useful facts:
Dandelion Puffs are used as equipment rather than headgear/accessories.
Black/Blue flowers are generally less common than other hybrids.
Tips for crossbreeding:
Plant crossbreeding flowers diagonally - It appears that if you plant crossbreeding flowers diagonal to each other, there are more spots crossbreeds can sprout from than when planted next to each other.
Caring for crossbreeding flowers - Try your best to water the crossbreeding flowers whenever possible. If they wither, you'll especially want to water them then so that you can bring them back to life.
Where to keep crossbreeds - The best place to keep them would be your house, because in there, they can't wither. However, if you decide to keep them outside, you should at least have them in your house at night until morning the day after. This way, it will be impossible for them to wither.
NEVER Time-Travel! - As tempting as it is, it can be dangerous when trying to create hybrids. You wouldn't want your crossbreeding flowers to wither, would you?
Town's Condition - It seems that your town's condition can affect how often hybrids grow. Try not to leave items and possibly weeds (still testing on that) lying around.

Well, this is the end of my hybrid guide. I may decide to add more info in the future. I hope that you find this guide useful in your quest for hybrids. Good luck!
