The Preserved Flower Event

This particular event is a very important prerequisite for marriage. If you want to date a villager then you’ll need to finish this quest, which gives you access to Sunsweet Flower seeds upon completion.

These are the triggers for the Preserved Flower Event:

You have seen a marriage candidate’s blue heart event, or it’s Autumn 1st of your first year in Mineral Town
It is between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM
It is not Sunday or Tuesday

When you exit your farmhouse, Jeff will talk to you and ask you for a favor. You’ll end up in the General Store with Basil, where he explains the legend of the Sunsweet Flower.

After the scene ends, the Nature Sprites will approach you and take you to the Secret Forest, where you discover a Sunsweet Flower. You should then return to the General Store and present it to Jeff and Basil.

When the cutscene is completed, Basil will return to the farm and give you a packet of Sunsweet Flower seeds. Jeff will also let you know that they’re finally available at his store!

You can now buy Sunsweet Flower seeds from Jeff for 1,000 G each.

Sunsweet Flower Uses

Sunsweet Flowers that you grow from seeds work just like any other regular wildflower – you can sell, gift, or cook them.

The Sunsweet Flower’s significance comes from its other form as the Preserved Flower, which is a token given in Mineral Town when you want to date someone.

The Preserved Flower can be bought from the General Store for 1,000 G each after completing the Preserved Flower Event. The Sunsweet Flower cannot be used as a substitute when asking a marriage candidate to date you.
