Heartopia Doris Guide — NPC Location, Gifts, and Rewards
Updated 2026-06-03
Heartopia Doris is one of the most popular NPCs in the game, and for good reason. Doris runs the town's flower stand and gives out rare plant seeds when your friendship level goes up. She is cheerful, easy to find, and her gift preferences are simple compared to other NPCs. This guide covers everything about Doris — where to find her, what she likes, and why you should max her friendship first.
Who is Doris?
Doris is a middle-aged woman with a green thumb and an apron full of flower seeds. She runs the Blooming Petal stall in the town square from 8 AM to 6 PM in-game time. On rainy days she stays inside her cottage near the river. She talks about her garden, her cat Mochi, and gives you random flower seeds when you chat with her daily. She is one of the first NPCs you meet after the tutorial.
