Disabling Seasions But Keeping its Stuff - Want to disable weather or make plants in season year-round? You can do so with my new Seasons Tuner Mod

Taking Cuttings, then Grafting them to existing plants will produce new types of plants, but only in the right combination!
Once you've leveled Gardening to 5, you can begin taking cuttings from plants in your garden and in the wild. These can then be grafted onto other plants. The base plant type determines the type of cutting you get as well as the graft result (so first listed in a plant that has multiple types growing). Having other harvestables growing from a plant doesn't matter, so long as the first one listed is the right type. So a tulip base cutting grafted onto a chrysanthemum base plant will produce bird of paradise.
The base type is what matters, not what else is on the plant. This applies to both grafting and take cutting. The base here is Orchid.
You can take cutting from either type of plant in this list and graft it onto the other. It works in both directions. Some plants grow faster than others, however, so I've listed them in such a way that the one you'll graft it onto is the faster-growing type of plant.
Why mess with those from seed packets? Well, the new fruit will be of the same quality as the base plant. So you can skip several evolution levels by getting it from grafting, while getting Gardening Skill XP in the process.
Getting a death flower can be extrapolated by using the above info, but I'll simplify it for you here:

Here is the open bug report read through to the most recent posts and you'll see that grafting works mostly on home lots so the work around is to harvest wild plants, grow them on your home lot where you can then graft to complete the plant collection etc.
If you're still having problems after updating your game, removing all/any mods and cc and testing in-game and trying a Repair Game option through the Origin Client, follow the link I provided in the above comment to the Bug Report and report it.
Press ctrl+shift+c (for Mac only(i don't know the one for pc sorry)) then type in testing_cheats true, then after that do bb.showhidden items
We do have this guide here there if you are looking for more precise info.

I actually happened to graft this combo last night in my own game and it worked fine so I suggest hovering your mouse over the grafted plant as this will tell you exactly what kind of plant it is.
I’m new to grafting plants etc!
Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to combined the Apple and cherry together and the lily and snapdragon.
So far I planted a lily and fertilised with snapdragon is that right? I need help!
Grow all plants until they are mature and also have your sim get to Level 5 of the gardening skill. At that point your sim will have an option to 'Take a Cutting' when clicking on a plant. So take a cutting from one plant then go to the other plant and the option 'Graft" will appear. When you have multiple cuttings in a sims inventory you can click to expand the stack and hovering over each will give you it's name so you know what cutting came from what plant. Then just follow the grafting guide to figure out what pairings make new plants.
You can graft all plants onto each other to make less overall plants in a sims garden to reduce the work needed but only some graft together to make brand new plants.
So I had only shoots of cherry. It won’t let me plant the shoots? What do I do. I’m trying to make ambrosia you see :)
You can't plants the cuttings, only graft them. Like the Guide above says Cherry>Apple = pomegranate. Then wait till your sims can harvest a pomegranate fruit and plant this; wait until it grows; then graft orchid>pomegranate=death flower.
The plant should say 'spliced plant' when you hover over it also it should say what type of plants are spliced together. If it doesn't display that try saving and restarting your game.
Pomegranates can also be bought from the city fruit vendors if you have City Living.
