Flowers[]
Watering a fertile flower next to another flower allows them to breed. Re-watering the flowers does not affect breeding time nor color chances. After some time, a new flower will appear in an open space adjacent to its fertile parent. Basic sprinklers cannot be used to breed flowers.

Trivia[]
- This is the first item that speed up the growth time of crops, the second being basic fertilizer.
- Prior to November 1, 2020 update, the watering can could not be used on legacy flowers and had a limited amount of water.
- To show the amount of water left in the can, a blue bar would appear above the watering can. With every use, the blue bar would deplete and reveal a white color to show how much was emptied.
- If the watering can was full, it would have a maximum amount of 15 uses before needing to be refilled.
- Watering cans can still be filled with water, but this does not do anything other than deplete the amount of water in the water storage block.
- Unlike most tools, watering cans can be immediately dropped and does not require the player to hold down "Q."
