Each mutation comes with its own method of unlocking—some are luck-based while others require specific pets, events, or tools. If you’re aiming to earn the most money, keep your eye out for Thunderstorms, Meteor Showers, and rare pets that boost mutation chances.

#1: Gold Mutation

The Gold mutation is one of the most rewarding in Grow a Garden, but also one of the hardest to get. With just a 1% drop rate, this mutation appears randomly on any fruit in your garden—meaning you’ll only see one Gold fruit for roughly every 100 harvested. What makes it so valuable is its massive 20x multiplier to the selling price, instantly turning even basic crops into high-profit harvests.

To increase your odds, focus on planting as many crops as possible across all your garden plots. The more fruits you have growing, the better your chance of landing a Gold mutation. When it does appear, it’s easy to spot—just look for golden sparkles and shimmering stars floating around the fruit. This visual cue is your sign that a money-making Gold fruit is ready to be sold.

#2: Rainbow Mutation

The Rainbow mutation is one of the rarest and most profitable in Grow a Garden, with an incredibly low appearance rate of just 0.1%—that’s one in every 1,000 fruits. When this mutation shows up, the fruit glows with a shifting rainbow aura and a colorful halo that makes it stand out instantly.

What makes the Rainbow mutation so desirable is its massive 50x sell price multiplier. Even a common crop like a strawberry or tomato can turn into a goldmine if it gets this mutation. To increase your chances, cover your garden with tightly packed crops and invest in Advanced or Godly Sprinklers. These gears can slightly boost mutation odds and help you squeeze more value from every harvest. If you’re lucky enough to get a Rainbow fruit, make sure to cash in while it lasts.

#3: Wet Mutation

The Wet mutation is one of the most common and beginner-friendly ways to earn more money in Grow a Garden. It’s triggered during rainy weather, where every fruit in your garden has a 50% chance to gain this effect. Along with the Wet status, your crops also grow faster, making rain one of the most valuable in-game events early on.

Fruits affected by the Wet mutation are easy to spot thanks to the subtle water droplet animation floating around them. While it only adds a 2x multiplier to your fruit’s sell price, it’s still a solid way to boost income—especially when you’re harvesting in bulk. Just be sure to stay active during rainfall, harvest as much as you can, and replant quickly to keep the profits rolling in.

#4: Shocked Mutation

The Shocked mutation is one of the rarest and most profitable boosts you can get in Grow a Garden. It only appears during thunderstorms, which happen infrequently, making this mutation tough to farm consistently. During a thunderstorm, there’s a small chance lightning will strike your crops—if it does, those fruits become Shocked.

Shocked fruits are easy to recognize thanks to their bright glow and the electric sparks surrounding them. Each one comes with a massive 50x multiplier to its sell price, making them incredibly valuable. You can slightly increase your odds of getting Shocked fruits by placing a Lightning Rod near your crops. Better yet, if a Shocked fruit also ends up with a Wet, Rainbow, or Gold mutation, your profit skyrockets. Timing and luck are everything here, so always be alert when storms roll in.

#5: Chilled Mutation

The Chilled mutation was added with the Angry Plant update and becomes active during snowy weather in Grow a Garden. While it’s not the rarest, it still offers a solid 2x boost to your fruit’s value, which can add up quickly if you’re harvesting in bulk.

Unlike some of the flashier mutations, Chilled fruits don’t change color dramatically. Instead, you’ll notice a light snowflake particle effect gently falling off the fruit—it’s subtle, but that’s how you know it’s been chilled. To take advantage of this mutation, just keep an eye on the weather and be ready to mass-harvest when snow starts falling. It’s an easy way to double your profits with minimal effort.

#6: Frozen Mutation

The Frozen mutation is one of the rarer and more valuable crop mutations in Grow a Garden, added with the Angry Plant update. Unlike other mutations, you can’t get it directly. Instead, it only appears when a fruit that already has the Wet mutation gets hit by snowy weather—making it a double condition mutation that’s harder to trigger.

Thanks to its rarity, Frozen fruits sell for 10 times their base value, making it a great way to stack up cash if you manage to get lucky. You’ll recognize this mutation by its frosty glow and icy particles drifting off the fruit. To improve your chances, time your harvests during snowy weather and make sure your crops are already soaked from rain.

#7: Moonlit Mutation

The Moonlit mutation was introduced with the Lunar event and brings a new layer of strategy to Grow a Garden. During the nighttime phase, certain crops have a chance to receive the Moonlit mutation, which boosts their sell value by 2x. While the bonus isn’t massive, it adds up quickly across multiple plants.

To guarantee this mutation, you can use the Night Staff—an item unlocked through the Lunar Glow questline. When activated, the staff instantly applies the Moonlit effect to six random crops in your garden, making it a reliable tool for passive profit. Look out for plants glowing with a soft moonlight shimmer to identify this mutation.

#8: Bloodlit Mutation

The Bloodlit mutation is tied to one of the rarest events in Grow a Garden—the Blood Moon. This mysterious event only appears every 3 hours and stays active for a short 10-minute window, making timing absolutely crucial. When active, there’s a chance for your crops to be marked with the Bloodlit mutation, giving them a glowing red aura and a noticeable increase in value.

This mutation boosts your fruit’s sale price by 4x, offering a solid profit spike, especially if you’ve densely packed your plot with fast-growing, multi-harvest plants. To make the most of it, have your crops ready before the event starts and stay active during its entire duration to harvest as many mutated fruits as possible.

#9: Celestial Mutation

The Celestial mutation is one of the most rewarding boosts you can get in Grow a Garden, and it becomes available during the Meteor Shower event. Unlike the rarer Blood Moon, Meteor Showers appear more often—but they only last around 3 minutes, so you’ll need to act quickly.

To boost your chances of getting Celestial fruits, use the Star Caller Tool to attract meteors directly to your garden. When struck, your crops can receive the Celestial mutation, which is easily identified by a glowing cosmic effect. What makes this mutation so powerful is its 120x sale value multiplier, making it one of the best ways to skyrocket your earnings in a short amount of time.

#10: Zombified Mutation

The Zombified mutation in Grow a Garden is a unique and powerful trait that you can only unlock through the Chicken Zombie pet. This spooky companion has a special passive ability that gives one of your crops a 25x sale value boost by infecting it with the Zombified mutation. It activates roughly every 29.5 minutes and carries around a 20% chance to affect a random plant in your garden.

To improve your odds of getting more Zombified fruits, you can place multiple Chicken Zombie pets—ideally three—to increase the frequency of mutation triggers across your harvest. It’s one of the few mutations that doesn’t rely on weather or events, making it an excellent passive income source once set up properly.

#11: Disco Mutation

The Disco mutation is one of the rarest and most valuable crop mutations in Grow a Garden, only available during the admin-exclusive Disco event. This mutation isn’t tied to any natural weather or pet—it only happens when a game admin triggers a special Disco weather. When it hits, the entire garden lights up like a dance party, your character starts dancing, and “Raining Tacos” by Parry Gripp blasts in the background while rainbow lights flash across your plot.

If you’re lucky enough to farm during this event, you’ll want your garden packed with crops, because each fruit that receives the Disco mutation gets a massive 125x sale value multiplier, the highest in the entire game. It’s a rare opportunity, but if you catch it, it can instantly skyrocket your earnings.

#12: Plasma Mutation

The Plasma mutation is another ultra-rare, admin-triggered event in Grow a Garden, only available during the Lazer Storm, a special event started by one of the game’s creators, Jandel. This isn’t something you’ll see every day—it usually happens around an hour before the game’s weekly updates, so hanging out during that window gives you the best shot.

When the Lazer Storm hits, a giant NPC version of Jandel appears in the world, spinning and firing lasers across player plots. Any crops caught in the blast have a chance to gain the Plasma mutation, which gives a 5x multiplier to their sale value. While the boost isn’t as extreme as some other mutations, it’s still a solid way to earn fast cash—especially if you’ve packed your plot with multi-harvest plants before the storm begins.

#13: Twisted Mutation

The Twisted mutation is one of the rarest storm-based effects in Grow a Garden, only available during the Tornado event. Introduced during the cosmetics update, this event doesn’t appear often—and even when it does, most players miss out on actually landing the mutation.

If you’re fortunate enough to get a fruit hit during this chaotic weather, you’ll earn the Twisted mutation, boosting its sale value by 30x. That makes it one of the most profitable non-admin-exclusive mutations in the game. To improve your odds, keep your farm loaded with crops and stay active during weather changes—you never know when a tornado might roll in.

#14: Voidtouched Mutation

The Voidtouched mutation is one of the rarest and most valuable crop effects in Grow a Garden, only appearing during the admin-triggered Black Hole event. When this event happens, a giant black hole appears in the sky, pulling players toward it in a chaotic, gravity-defying scene.

What makes this mutation truly special isn’t just the visual spectacle—it’s the incredible profit. Any fruit hit by this event gains the Voidtouched status, skyrocketing its sale value by 135x, making it one of the highest-paying mutations in the entire game. If you’re online when a developer triggers this event, fill your garden fast and hope luck’s on your side.

#15: Pollinated Mutation

The Pollinated mutation was introduced with the Bizzy Bees update in Grow a Garden and is one of the more common—but still highly useful—mutations. You can trigger this effect through the Bee Swarm event, by placing Bee pets like the regular Bee, Honey Bee, Queen Bee, or Petal Bee in your garden, or by spending Robux to summon bees manually.

While it’s not the rarest, the Pollinated mutation gives your crops a solid 3x sale multiplier, making it a reliable way to boost your income. Plus, Pollinated crops are essential for producing Honey, which can be spent at the Honey Shop for exclusive items. It’s a consistent money-maker that rewards strategic pet placement and event timing.

#16: HoneyGlazed Mutation

The HoneyGlazed mutation is one of the sweetest upgrades you can give your crops in Grow a Garden, and it arrived with the Bizzy Bees update. Unlike most mutations that depend on random weather or rare events, this one is easier to control—you just need the Bear Bee pet. Once placed in your garden, the Bear Bee has a chance to apply the HoneyGlazed effect to nearby fruits.

This mutation gives a solid 5x boost to your fruit’s sale price, making it a reliable method for earning money over time. If you’re stacking other bee-related buffs like Pollinated, pairing them with HoneyGlazed can help you farm profits consistently without relying on random events or dev-spawned weather.

#17: Heavenly Mutation

The Heavenly mutation is one of the rarest limited-time effects ever seen in Grow a Garden, introduced just ahead of the Friendship update. This exclusive buff was only available during the brief Floating Jandel event, which appeared on servers right before the patch went live. If you happened to be online during that time, some of your crops may have received this sparkling bonus.

Fruits with the Heavenly mutation are easy to spot thanks to their glowing, star-filled shimmer. Even though it’s not the most powerful multiplier out there, the 5x sale boost still makes it a great way to earn quick cash—especially since so few players had the chance to get it.

#18: Choc Mutation

The Choc mutation was first introduced during the Easter event in Grow a Garden and quickly became one of the most charming ways to boost your earnings. Originally, players could unlock this mutation by turning in 30kg of gold plants at the Easter shop to purchase the exclusive Chocolate Sprinkler. Once placed, it instantly coated nearby fruits with the Choc mutation, doubling their value with a 2x multiplier.

While the original Chocolate Sprinkler is no longer available, there are still ways to get this mutation. You can use the Choc Mutation Sprinkler, which works similarly by applying the effect in a set radius. Alternatively, if you’re really lucky, you might witness the ultra-rare Chocolate Rain event, a fun admin-triggered moment that gives random crops the sweet Choc mutation as candy pours from the sky.

#19: Meteoric Mutation

The Meteoric mutation is one of the rarest and most powerful boosts in Grow a Garden, available only during a special Meteor Strike event launched by Jandel himself. During this admin-exclusive event, massive meteors come crashing down into the map, and any nearby crops hit by the impact receive the Meteoric mutation.

Visually, fruits with the Meteoric mutation shimmer with a celestial glow, blending the radiance of the Celestial mutation with the sparkling aura of the Pollinated effect. But what makes it truly special is the massive 60x sell value multiplier, making even the most basic fruits worth a fortune. For example, a regular apple can fetch over 67,000 Sheckles with this mutation. If you’re lucky enough to be online during a Meteor Strike, make sure your garden is packed and ready—it’s one of the best chances in the game to make a huge profit fast.

#20: Burnt Mutation

The Burnt mutation in Grow a Garden is tied to one of the game’s most memorable and darkly humorous additions—the Cooked Owl pet. Originally introduced during the Working Bees update, this exclusive pet was only available to players who joined the game during that time. Once added to your garden, the Cooked Owl has a 15% chance every 15 minutes to apply the Burnt mutation to one of your crops.

Visually, Burnt fruits look charred and smoky, with a scorched, blackened finish that sets them apart from other mutations. Despite their crispy appearance, they’re actually worth 4x more when sold, making them surprisingly profitable. While some players initially believed the Red Dragon might be linked to this mutation, it was later confirmed that only the Cooked Owl triggers it—along with one other rare mutation. Keep this little crispy companion close if you’re farming for high-value returns.

#21: Cooked Mutation

Alongside its signature Burnt mutation, the Cooked Owl pet in Grow a Garden also offers a rare bonus—occasionally giving your crops the Cooked mutation. While this isn’t as common as Burnt, it still has a decent chance to appear during the owl’s passive effect cycle.

What makes the Cooked mutation worthwhile is its 10x sell value boost, which significantly increases your profits when it does trigger. Visually, Cooked fruits have a toasted, golden-brown look that sets them apart from regular or burnt produce. While the odds of landing this mutation are lower, it’s still a valuable bonus that adds another layer of earning potential for players using this limited-edition pet.

#22: Molten Mutation

The Molten mutation is one of the hottest additions—literally—to Grow a Garden, introduced through the rare admin-triggered Volcano event. During this fiery spectacle, a massive volcano erupts just behind the Gear and Pet Shop, launching lava blocks across the map. If one of these flaming chunks lands on your crops, your fruit has a chance to gain the powerful Molten mutation.

Visually, Molten fruits glow with intense red and orange hues, giving them a lava-like appearance that’s hard to miss. Even better, this mutation boosts the crop’s sale value by 35x, making it a top-tier reward for players lucky enough to be online during the eruption. If you’re aiming for serious profits, make sure your best crops are planted and ready when the volcano blows.

#23: Dawnbound Mutation

The Dawnbound mutation is one of the rarest and most rewarding mutations in Grow a Garden, only available during the admin-exclusive Sun God event. When this event occurs, you’ll see Jandel appear in the sky, glowing like a rising sun. To trigger the Dawnbound mutation, four players must each hold a Sunflower plant and stand close together so the flowers touch—creating a unified offering to the Sun God.

If done correctly, there’s a small chance that one of the crops will receive the Dawnbound mutation, glowing with a radiant neon yellow aura. What makes this mutation so valuable is its unmatched 150x sell value multiplier, making it the highest-paying mutation in the entire game. If you manage to get one, consider yourself extremely lucky—it’s the holy grail of Grow a Garden farming.

#24: Alienlike Mutation

The Alienlike mutation was introduced during the Alien Invasion event just before the Summer update in Grow a Garden. During this limited-time event, UFOs would appear and beam down glowing teal rays onto random plants. Any crop hit by these rays would gain the Alienlike mutation.

Visually, this mutation gives your plant a cool teal glow with a faint white aura swirling around it. It’s not just for looks though—Alienlike fruits come with a massive 100x sell multiplier, making them one of the most profitable mutations in the game. If you were lucky enough to be online during this invasion, you had a rare shot at cashing in big.

#25: Galactic Mutation

The Galactic mutation was introduced during the Space Travel event that launched just before the Summer update in Grow a Garden. During this limited event, gravity in the lobby was drastically reduced, letting players float around as their crops grew at lightning speed—up to 75% faster than usual.

But the real highlight was the Galactic mutation. Any lucky crops affected by the event would glow with a cosmic aura and receive a massive 120x sell value multiplier. If you were around during this zero-gravity madness, you had one of the best chances to boost your profits with this ultra-rare, space-themed mutation.

#26: Verdant Mutation

The Verdant mutation in Grow a Garden can only be triggered by one specific pet—the Scarlet Macaw. To unlock this colorful companion, you’ll need to hatch a Paradise Egg from the pet egg shop. Once placed in your garden, the Scarlet Macaw has a 16.25% chance every 11.48 minutes to apply the Verdant mutation to a random crop.

While it’s not the most powerful mutation in terms of value boost, Verdant adds a nice visual flair and plays a role in combining with other mutations—making it a useful addition if you’re aiming for more advanced or stacked effects later on.

#27: Paradisal Mutation

The Paradisal mutation in Grow a Garden is a special combined effect that appears when both Verdant and Sundried mutations are applied to the same crop. Similar to how Wet fruits can become Frozen during snowy weather, this combo transforms the crop into its Paradisal form. This unique mutation isn’t triggered directly but is the result of stacking two specific mutations, making it one of the rarer and more visually impressive outcomes in the game. It’s a rewarding payoff for players who manage to create the perfect conditions for it.

#28: Sundried Mutation

The Sundried mutation is a powerful bonus in Grow a Garden that you can only get during the Heatwave event. When this weather hits, crops exposed to the intense sunlight have a chance to develop the Sundried trait, giving them a massive 85x sell value boost. To improve your chances of triggering it, place Tanning Mirrors around your garden—these tools help focus the sun’s rays and make the mutation appear more consistently. If you’re farming for profit, this is one of the best events to take advantage of.

#29: Windstruck Mutation

The Windstruck mutation is a subtle but useful bonus that only appears during the rare Windy weather event in Grow a Garden. While it doesn’t change the fruit’s color, you’ll notice a gentle swirl of air bubbles floating around any crops that receive this mutation. Windstruck adds a modest 2x multiplier to the fruit’s sale value—making it a decent way to boost profits, especially when combined with other mutations. Though not the flashiest, it plays a solid role in stacking value when paired with higher-tier mutations like Rainbow, Gold, or Shocked.

Conclusion

That wraps up our complete guide to all the mutations in Grow a Garden. Whether you’re farming for fun or looking to maximize profits, understanding how each mutation works—and how to trigger them—can make a huge difference in your earnings. From the common Wet and Chilled types to rare admin-only ones like Dawnbound and Galactic, stacking the right combinations can lead to insanely high fruit values. Keep an eye on weather events, use your pets and sprinklers wisely, and don’t miss those special admin events. With a bit of luck and strategy, you’ll turn your garden into a money-making machine in no time.
