On {{date|1|January|2022}}, camellias were introduced, and these joined poinsettias as rare flowers that had a low chance of blooming when regular flowers were planted. After the Community Day on {{date|22|January}}, poinsettias were no longer available this way. On {{date|11|February}}, plum blossom flowers were introduced, and now, planting regular flowers had a chance of blooming pansies, poinsettias, camellias, or plum blossoms. The Valentine's Day event on {{date|14|February}} made roses very common for the day and lowered the rarity of the type.

From March 2022, the system of flower availability from Big Flowers was simplified, and now each month, planting regular flowers around a Big Flower has a chance of blooming a selection of seasonal flowers. The second tier of flower rarity was removed, and now roses are treated the same way as other rare flowers. Community Days continue to change the flower availability for that day only. The following table shows the flower types available each month:
From March 2022, the system of flower availability from Big Flowers was simplified and the second tier of flower rarity was removed, with roses now being treated the same way as other rare flowers (now called Seasonal Flowers). After this change, planting regular flowers around a Big Flower has a chance of blooming a selection of seasonal flowers from the current Big Flower Forecast. The Big Flower Forecast changes monthly, but occasionally is the same for two months in a row. Additionally, each monthly Big Flower Forecast introduced a new flower, dubbed the Flower of the Month. Community Days continue to change the flower availability for that day/weekend only and feature the current Flower of the Month.
 
From August 2023, Pikmin with the Flower of the Month blooming on their head gain an additional point of strength in [[Mushroom battle]]s compared to Pikmin with other seasonal flowers blooming on their head. In months where only one color of a particular flower species was the Flower of the Month, all colors of that species gave this attack boost.
 
The following table shows the Flower of the Month and Big Flower Forecast each month:
