Achievement Requirement
One of the followings:

Completed both The Shopping List and A Return to Shopping side-quests (during Part One)

OR

Purchased the cultivation handbook from the florist in the village market (during Part Two)

Knowledge needed for this achievement
The achievement REQUIRES you to harvest a white flower or a white flower seed

The game has three basic flowers colours (Red, Gold, Blue) that can be purchased from the Grocery Vendor in Seafront

Getting White from these three basic colours (4 steps):
Step 1: RED + GOLD = PEACH
Step 2: GOLD + BLUE = INDIGO
Step 3: INDIGO + RED = PINK
Step 4: PEACH + PINK = WHITE (also called Lunar Tear)

ATTENTION: A flower must be surrounded by two flowers of different colour in order to obtain the highest chance of them successfully changing colour (Eg: Red must be surrounded by Gold)

The colour of the center flower and the surrounding flowers does not matter. They are interchangeable (Eg: To produce Peach, Red can be surrounded by Gold or Gold can be surrounded by Red) (Thanks LionOfComarre )

However, for simplicity sake, I will only provide instruction for one way of how flowers should surround each other (Eg; The procedure will only show Red surrounded by Gold to produce Peach)

Some notes before Procedure
1) DO NOT WATER ANY OF THE PLANTS. Watering will give more yield around (70-80% more seeds) . However, if you were to fail any of the steps (which i guarantee you will) you will just waste time. Thus, no watering is recommended

2) You can uncap the FPS to reduce the time needed to go through all of the steps. As most people have already know, FPS is tied to the game physics, the higher the FPS, the faster things move around. I did not encounter any bugs when I uncapped the FPS. HOWEVER, if you do, please comment down below and I will delete this ASAP

3) If you want the flowers and not the seeds, fast forwards by one day only
Procedure: Step 1 and 2
1. Go to Seafront and buy 9 Red, 6 Gold, and 6 Blue from the Grocery Vendor



2. Go back to your house and let's start planting

Great guide, the visuals really helped. One thing I did additionally was using bounty fertilizer on the empty garden slots before making Save 1 as this helps obtain more seeds, therefore making it easier and faster to obtain rare seeds. It's a good investment, especially if anyone plans to farm white flowers for the 1,000,000 gold achievement (takes 200 white flowers in total to get it).

If you apply two days in the future while growing the white flower, you do not need to actual white flower to get the achievement. I can confirm this because I wanted my whole garden full of white flowers just for the heck of it and so the first time I got 2 seeds but unlocked the achievement anyway.

yeah but reloading is much faster, speedrunners do it that way
huma474 21 Jan, 2023 @ 1:24pm 
You don't need to reload saves to advance time. You can just walk out the northern gate, then update your clock, then go back to the garden for the time to advance. As long as there's a loading screen the garden will advance

Doing indigo-red to get pink, doesn't putting the indigos as the centers spend less indigos than if it were on the edges? Also, if watering increases seeds, isn't that just good?

While multiplying my white moonflower seeds I ran into a strange glitch where the white moonflowers stopped growing entirely after planting -> watering.

I can't water them nor get them to die!

To get pink flowers you don't need red. Only peach and indigo...

Thanks for the guide! It turned this miserable weeks-long quest into just an hour.

Just a general remark: Maybe add a note to also turn back the date if you gotta retry a step? I kinda just assumed I'd need to do that the one time I had to retry.
