About Hex Garden Bloom

Hex Garden Bloom is a calm but cunning merge puzzle played on a garden of 37 hexagon plots. Every turn you are handed one piece, usually a seed, sometimes a sprout or a bud, and you choose an empty plot for it. When three or more plants of the same stage touch, they grow together into the next stage right on the plot you just planted: seeds become sprouts, sprouts become buds, then flowers, flowering bushes, shade trees, almond-blossom trees and finally tall golden cypresses. Three cypresses together turn into a paradise garden burst that clears the plot and pays a huge bonus.

The fun is in the chains. A new flower can complete a group of flowers next to it, which grows a bush that completes a group of bushes, and so on. Each step of a chain multiplies its points, so planning a row of waiting groups pays off far more than quick single merges. A glowing outline previews exactly which plants will merge before you commit, and the basket lets you set one piece aside for a better moment. Dew drops are wild: they become whatever stage gives the biggest merge.

The garden is not always peaceful. Snails crawl in from the edges and wander one plot per turn, taking up space. Box a snail in so it has nowhere to go and it turns into compost, which becomes a fresh sprout and can start a merge of its own. Thistles take root in empty plots later in the game; any merge right next to a thistle pulls it out.

Tips: keep your big plants in one corner and grow small ones near the open middle; never fill the last gap between two groups unless it merges; and use the basket to hold a bud or a dew drop for a chain. The game ends when every plot is full. Hex Garden Bloom is free on Playdonya, runs in the browser on phones and computers, and has a daily garden that is the same for every player.
