He took his time getting here — no surprise there for a Sloth, really — but Leif’s arrival on the island means the introduction of a new garden shop featuring shrubs you can buy, plant and grow. We’ve never been so excited over a shrub before, but that’s just what Animal Crossing does to us. So how many different shrubs and color variations do we have access to now that Leif has set up shop on the island? We’ll walk you through it with our list of all shrub types and colors in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Whenever Leif rocks up on your plaza with his garden shop, you’ll be able to purchase four different shrubs from him. The selection he brings changes each time, and you’ll never get access to all the different shrubs at once, meaning you’ll need to island hop or wait for him to turn up again to get them all. To know which ones you’re still waiting for, here’s a list of all shrub types and colors in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. We’ve also included details on when each type will blossom with lovely flowers.
