Grow a Garden Mutations complete guide to maximize your crop value

Mutations in Grow a Garden are special crop variations that can greatly boost your profits. These Mutations not only change the appearance of your crops but also increase their sale value, sometimes by staggering amounts. This guide covers how Mutations work, how to trigger them, and which ones offer the best returns, so let’s get into the nitty-gritty.

What are Mutations in Grow a Garden?

Mutations are rare boosts that can affect your crops during growth. While most crops in Grow a Garden grow in their default state, certain factors like weather, game events, or specific equipment can cause them to mutate. These Mutations apply value multipliers to your harvests and can sometimes be stacked together, multiplying their benefits even further.

Some Mutations are random, while others depend on specific conditions or specific pets. The rarest Mutations can dramatically increase your earnings, making them highly sought after if you want to progress quickly or earn screenshot-worthy profits.

All Mutation types and multipliers

We have gathered all 13 known Mutations in the table below. It details their value multipliers, how they are obtained, and how they appear in the game.

Mutation	Multiplier	How to get	Appearance
Normal	x1	Default crop	No changes
Wet	x2	Triggered by rain or thunderstorm	Appears soaked
Chilled	x2	During frost or with help from a Polar Bear pet	Frosty bluish tone
Chocolate	x2	Triggered by Chocolate Sprinkler on multi-harvest crops (during Easter event only)	Chocolate-themed appearance
Moonlit	x2	Triggered during the Night (only during Lunar Glow event)	Shining purple colour
Bloodlit	x4	Triggered by the Blood Moon (only during the Blood Moon event)	Shining blood-red colour
Frozen	x10	Triggered by a crop becoming Wet + Chilled, or with Polar Bear pet interaction	Encased in an ice block
Golden	x20	1% chance to trigger; increased with Advanced or Godly Sprinklers, or with the Dragonfly pet	Shining gold colour
Zombified	x25	Triggered by Chicken Zombie pet interaction	Green fog and dripping effect
Rainbow	x50	0.1% chance to trigger; increased with Advanced or Godly Sprinklers	Rotating rainbow colours
Shocked	x50	Triggered by lightning during thunderstorms	Glows with electric light
Celestial	x120	Occurs during a meteor shower event	Starry sparkles with a discoloured yellow/purple tint
Disco	x125	Available only during the Disco Event (admin-spawned)	Flashing multi-coloured lights

Weather-based Mutations

Weather can play an important role in some of the mutation chances. Here you can see which mutations are triggered by each weather condition:

Weather	Mutations
Rain	Wet
Thunderstorm	Wet, Shocked
Frost	Chilled, Frozen
Night	Moonlit
Blood Moon	Bloodlit
Meteor Shower	Celestial

Remember that keeping track of in-game weather cycles can help you prepare the right crops or sprinklers to take advantage of these Mutations when they become available.

How to stack Mutations for maximum profit

Some Mutations can be combined, resulting in huge value boosts. When stacking is possible, the multipliers are multiplicative. Let’s take a look at a few simple examples:

• Gold + Wet = x40
• Gold + Rainbow = x1,000
• Rainbow + Shocked = x5,000

With those easy examples out of the way, let’s see what’s the highest possible combination:

• Rainbow + Shocked + Frozen + Chocolate + Moonlit + Disco + Celestial + Bloodlit + Zombified = x19,050

To get this high-value Mutation, you have to follow these steps:

• Get a crop with the Rainbow Mutation.
• Wait for thunderstorm weather, then get the crop Shocked.
• Wait for rain or another thunderstorm to make the crop Wet.
• Wait for frost weather to give it the Chilled mutation, so Wet and Chilled combine to get the crop Frozen.
• Wait for night to make the crop Moonlit.
• Use a Chocolate Sprinkler on the crop to get the Chocolate Mutation. (Since Chocolate sprinklers are currently unobtainable, this method is impossible, unless you have a Chocolate Sprinkler in your inventory; otherwise, skip to the next step)
• Wait for an admin Disco event to make the crop get the Disco Mutation.
• Wait for a meteor shower to make the crop Celestial.
• Wait for the Blood Moon to make the crop Bloodlit.
• Equip a Chicken Zombie pet to make the crop Zombified.

However, not all Mutations can be combined. For example, Wet, Chilled, and Frozen cannot stack together due to their overlapping conditions. Always check compatibility before expecting compound multipliers.

How to increase the chances of getting Mutations?

Although Mutations are mostly luck-based, there are several ways to improve your odds:

• Use Advanced or Godly Sprinklers to increase the chance of rare Mutations like Gold and Rainbow.
• Time your plantings based on weather forecasts in the game to align with rain, frost, or thunderstorms.
• Leverage multi-harvest crops, which give more opportunities per crop to mutate over time.
• Participate in limited-time events, such as Easter, Bloodmoon, or Disco Event, where exclusive Mutations can be triggered.
• Use specific pets, like the Polar Bear or Chicken Zombie, to access otherwise rare Mutations.

High-value mutations

If your goal is to earn the most money quickly, aim for the following high-multiplier Mutations:

• Gold (x20)
• Rainbow (x50)
• Shocked (x50)
• Celestial (x120)
• Disco (x125, event-only)

Stacking these, when possible, can lead to exponential profit increases.
