After getting settled in Forgotten Valley, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life players will have the opportunity to increase their seed options via hybrid crafting. The ability, which unlocks in the second year, creates crops that possess the traits of two base parent crops.
Players will want to have a good store of basic crops grown during the first year to get experimenting right away, and the value of the hybrid crops is more than worth the wait and effort. Below is our guide to help players create Trick Blue, Tier 1, and Tier 2 hybrids.

How to Unlock Hybrid Seeds & Vinnie in SoS: A Wonderful Life
One of the most unique aspects of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is the hybrid crop system. This will unlock in Chapter 2 “Branching” when Takakura shows you a strange talking plant he has added to his house. The plant, named Vinnie, has the ability to eat two different crops and spit out a new type of seed.
To access Vinnie’s ability, players will need to raise his friendship level to pink. This can be done by talking with him every day. I was sure to just keep talking to him until he ended the conversation naturally. By doing this, I was able to start mixing hybrids at the start of Summer in Year 2.
How to Create Hybrid Crops in SoS: A Wonderful Life
Players will be able to create two tiers of hybrid crops. The first comes from mixing basic crops together for a tier 1 hybrid seed. The next requires players to mix two hybrid crops for a tier 2 hybrid seed. However, not any combination will produce hybrid seeds. Because of this, it is beneficial to hold onto as many crops from year 1 as possible, as it can take a bit of trial and error to be successful.
To help you out, below are all the combinations we found successful for different tiers of hybrid crop seeds as detailed by each base crop type.

Flower Hybrid Mixing in SoS: A Wonderful Life
In addition to the man hybrid crops players can mix and grow, there is also an opportunity to infuse bags of seeds with specific flowers. This method of hybrid crafting only works on seeds and offers unique properties. Below are each of the flowers and how they interact with seeds.
- Trick Blue Flower – Blooms in Autumn. When mixed with seeds, it creates blue versions of those crops.
- Sagesoil Flower – Blooms in Autumn. Has the ability to strengthen crops. (Noted by a solid diamond by the seed name.)
- Happy Lamp Flower – Blooms in Summer. Has temperature regulating properties that change the times crops can grow. (Noted by the diamond outline beside the seed name.)
- Upseed Flower – Grows rarely in Winter. “processes every nutrient in soil” and changes the quality to “S” rank. (Noted by a Blue Seed bag.)

Can Hybrids Be Mixed With Blue Crops
At this time, it doesn’t appear that standard Tier 1 or Tier 2 hybrid crops can be crossed with blue crops for something knew. Instead, it will generate a single seed from one of the two parent crosses. Because of this, it is better to save blue crops for cooking for selling.
