Grow a Garden BEST Crops Tier List (July 2025) All 95+ Seeds
I've spent countless hours in Roblox's Grow a Garden, testing every single crop to figure out which ones actually make you rich and which ones are just wasting your precious plot space. With over 95 different seeds available after the massive Mega Summer Harvest update, knowing what to plant can feel overwhelming - especially when some seeds cost millions of Sheckles!
That's why I've created this comprehensive tier list that ranks every crop from the godly Sunflower down to the humble Carrot. Whether you're a brand new farmer or a seasoned pro looking to optimize your garden, this guide will help you make smart planting decisions and maximize your profits.
Note: This tier list has been fully updated with the Mega Summer Harvest Event (Update 1.12.0) which added new crops, Summer Shop, Oasis Egg pets, and the Mega Harvest system that gives 2x points!

Understanding Grow a Garden Mechanics
Before I dive into the tier lists, let me explain the key factors that determine a crop's true value in Grow a Garden.
Rarity Tiers Explained
The game features seven rarity tiers, and understanding them is crucial for smart investing. Common crops like Carrots are dirt cheap but barely profitable. As you climb through Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary tiers, both seed prices and potential profits increase dramatically. The real money-makers are in the Mythical, Divine, and ultra-rare Prismatic tiers - these can sell for millions with the right mutations!
Single vs Multi-Harvest: The Game Changer
This is where many new players lose money. Single-harvest crops disappear after you pick them, meaning you need to buy new seeds every time. Multi-harvest crops keep producing forever until you dig them up. While single-harvest crops like Bamboo can be profitable during mutation events, multi-harvest crops provide consistent, long-term income that compounds over time.
The Mutation Multiplier Magic
Mutations are what turn a 1,000₵ Tomato into a 50,000₵ goldmine. Basic mutations like Wet (2x) and Gold (10x) are common, but the real profits come from rare mutations like Shocked (50x), Sundried (85x from the Summer update), or Celestial (120x). The best part? Mutations can stack! I've sold single fruits for billions by combining multiple high-value mutations during special events.
Where to Hunt for Seeds
Tom's Shop (formerly Sam's) restocks every 5 minutes with random seeds, but rare ones have tiny appearance chances. Seed Packs offer guaranteed variety but are pure RNG. Special events like Blood Moon, Summer Harvest, and Easter bring exclusive seeds that can't be obtained elsewhere. Pro tip: Keep the game open in another tab to catch those ultra-rare restocks!

S-Tier Crops: Ultimate Money Making Plants in Grow a Garden
These are the crops that'll make you rich beyond belief. Every single one is worth the investment, even if you have to save for weeks to afford them.
Also Useful: Grow a Garden Value List (July 2025)
Sunflower - Highest Value Flower in Grow a Garden
The undisputed king of flowers, Sunflower's incredible 135,000₵ per bloom makes it the most valuable crop in the game! Originally exclusive to the Bee Swarm event, these massive golden flowers tower over other plants and produce one flower every 30 minutes. That's 6,480,000₵ per day from a single plant! The sunflower grows taller than most crops, with its distinctive large yellow petals following the sun throughout the day. Plus, it's the only crop with the exclusive Dawnbound mutation that can multiply its value by 50x when exposed to sunrise conditions. During the Mega Summer update, Sunflowers gained increased compatibility with the new Sundried mutation (85x), potentially pushing single flower values over 10 million!
Candy Blossom - Most Profitable Event Exclusive
This Easter-exclusive flower remains one of the most sought-after crops with a base value of 90,250₵ per bloom. During the Easter 2025 event, it only had a 4% spawn chance in the event shop, making it incredibly rare. The multi-colored petals shimmer with rainbow effects, and each plant produces multiple flowers over time. If you see someone selling or trading one, it's still worth the investment! The Candy Blossom becomes even more valuable during Blood Moon events where it can gain the Bloodlit mutation (25x), potentially pushing single flower values into the millions. With the new mutation stacking from Mega Summer, I've seen Candy Blossoms with Gold + Sundried + Bloodlit sell for over 1.5 billion Sheckles!
Sugar Apple - Best Non-Event Crop for Making Money
Finally, a top-tier crop that doesn't require event luck! Sugar Apple received a massive buff in the Summer update, now producing 8 fruits at once, each selling for 50,000₵ base (up from 43,000₵). That's 400,000₵ per harvest from a single plant! At 5 million per seed, it seems expensive, but you'll make that back in just 13 harvests. With mutations, I regularly see 10+ million per harvest. The tree grows to medium height with distinctive golden apples that sparkle when ready to harvest. This is THE best non-event crop in the game, hands down. Pro tip: Plant these during Heatwave weather for a chance at the new Sundried mutation (85x multiplier)!
Elephant Ears - Summer Update's Best New Crop (NEW!)
Introduced in the Summer Harvest update, Elephant Ears quickly became one of the most sought-after crops. This Prismatic plant features massive, elephant-ear-shaped leaves that can grow larger than your character! With an 80,000₵ base value and multi-harvest capability, it rivals even the legendary Candy Blossom for profitability. The plant takes up considerable garden space, but the payoff is worth it. During my testing, a single Elephant Ear with Gold and Sundried mutations sold for over 68 million Sheckles! It's extremely rare in Summer Seed Packs, but if you get one, guard it with your life.
Ember Lily - Highest Value Prismatic Flower
The newest addition to the Prismatic tier before Summer, Ember Lily combines stunning visuals with a whopping 50,000₵+ base value. Its fiery red and yellow petals aren't just for show - this flower has one of the highest mutation multiplier potentials in the game. The 10 million price tag is steep, but Ember Lily pays for itself faster than any other Prismatic crop. Each plant produces 3-5 lily blooms that glow with an inner fire effect. The petals actually emit particle effects that look like tiny embers floating upward. During thunderstorms, these have an increased chance of gaining the Shocked mutation, which can push values into the stratosphere.
Sunflower - Best Passive Income Generator
Don't let the slow growth fool you - Sunflower's 60,000₵ per bloom makes it incredibly valuable. It produces one massive flower every 30 minutes, which seems slow until you realize that's 2,880,000₵ per day from a single plant! The sunflower grows taller than most crops, making it easy to spot and harvest. Plus, it's the only crop with the exclusive Dawnbound mutation that can multiply its value by 50x when exposed to sunrise conditions. I keep a row of 10 sunflowers as my "retirement fund" - they generate passive income 24/7 without any maintenance required.
Dragon Pepper - Top Tier Spicy Profit Maker
With its distinctive red and orange coloring, Dragon Pepper strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and profitability at 35,000₵ base value. It grows faster than most Divine crops and has excellent mutation rates. The plant produces 3-5 peppers per harvest cycle, each one glowing with a subtle fire effect. During spicy food events or Heatwave weather, these bad boys can hit astronomical values. I've built entire gardens around Dragon Pepper and never regretted it. Fun fact: Dragon Peppers have a unique interaction with the new Crab pet from the Summer update, which increases their growth speed by 20%!
Beanstalk - Tallest and Most Valuable Multi-Use Crop
The tallest plant in the game isn't just for reaching high places - it's a money-printing machine. Each bean sells for 20,000₵ minimum, and the plant produces multiple beans per harvest. The 0.01% shop appearance rate makes it ultra-rare, but patient farmers who snag one are set for life. The beanstalk grows so tall it actually extends beyond the normal camera view, requiring you to climb it to harvest the top beans. Pro tip: Use Beanstalks to harvest coconuts from palm trees while making bank! During windy weather, Beanstalks have a chance to gain the new Windstruck mutation, adding another multiplier to their already impressive value.
Moon Blossom - Lunar Event's Premium Flower
Exclusive to the Lunar Glow event, Moon Blossom commands an impressive 53,512₵ per flower, making it one of the highest-value event crops. These ethereal flowers glow with a soft blue light and seem to pulse with lunar energy. Each plant produces 2-3 blossoms that only bloom at night, adding a mystical element to your garden. During Blood Moon variants of the lunar event, these can gain the Bloodlit mutation for astronomical values. The combination of high base value and event exclusivity makes Moon Blossom a must-have for serious collectors.
Honeysuckle - Crafting System's Hidden Gem
Don't overlook this crafted beauty! Honeysuckle requires dedication through the Bizzy Bear crafting system but rewards patient farmers with 45,000₵ per harvest. The delicate trumpet-shaped flowers attract bee pets, which can apply the valuable Pollinated mutation. Each plant produces 4-6 flowers in cascading clusters that smell amazing (according to the in-game description). What makes Honeysuckle special is its synergy with bee-related events and pets - during Bee Swarm events, these flowers have increased chances for rare mutations. The crafting requirement keeps supply low, maintaining its premium value.
A-Tier Crops: Premium Seeds Worth Every Sheckle
These crops might not have the jaw-dropping values of S-tier, but they're consistent profit machines that form the backbone of any successful garden.
Rosy Delight - Largest Flower in Grow a Garden (NEW!)
This Divine-rarity addition from the Summer update produces the largest flower in the entire game! Each Rosy Delight grows a single, massive golden-colored rose that can be as big as three regular flowers combined. At 40,000₵+ per bloom with multi-harvest capability, it's become a fan favorite. The rose has a unique shimmer effect and actually sways in the wind. During my extensive testing, Rosy Delight showed exceptional mutation rates, particularly with the new Sundried mutation. One player in my server sold a Rainbow Sundried Rosy Delight for 170 million Sheckles!
Grape - Classic Divine Tier Money Maker
At 25,000₵ per bunch, Grapes offer Divine-tier profits at a (relatively) reasonable 2 million price point. They grow in beautiful purple clusters on twisting vines that add aesthetic appeal to any garden. Multiple grapes per harvest means steady income, and they're perfect for mutation farming during weather events. Each vine produces 3-4 bunches of grapes that respawn every few hours. The grapes have a glossy texture that reflects light, making them easy to spot when ripe. I always keep at least 5 grape vines as they're reliable income generators that look great too.
Pepper - Budget Divine Crop for Steady Income
Not to be confused with Dragon Pepper, regular Pepper is the budget-friendly Divine option at just 1.5 million. With 18,000₵ per pepper and fast regrowth, it's perfect for players transitioning from Mythical to Divine crops. The plant grows to chest height with bright red peppers that have a subtle glossy sheen. Each plant produces 4-6 peppers per harvest cycle. I always keep a few Pepper plants as my "safety net" income source. They're particularly profitable during the Summer Harvest event where they contribute significant points.
Mushroom - Best Single-Harvest Event Crop
Yes, it's single-harvest, but hear me out - Mushroom's 30,000₵ base value makes it perfect for mutation events. The mushroom grows with a distinctive red cap with white spots, reaching about waist height when fully mature. Plant these during Blood Moon or Thunderstorms, and you're looking at millions per mushroom. The key is timing - never plant mushrooms during regular weather. I keep a stock of 50+ mushroom seeds specifically for event farming. Just don't plant them during regular weather, or you're throwing money away!
Cacao - Multi-Purpose Chocolate Producer
Cacao beans might "only" sell for 15,000₵ each, but these trees produce beans like crazy - often 6-8 per harvest cycle. The cacao tree grows with distinctive large leaves and pods that hang directly from the trunk. Combined with chocolate-themed events and mutations, Cacao becomes a profit powerhouse. During the Easter event, Chocolate mutations on Cacao beans pushed values to 300,000₵+. Plus, they're essential for crafting certain items, adding extra utility beyond pure profit. The trees also provide nice shade for smaller plants!
Guanabana - Mega Summer's Crafted Treasure (NEW!)
The Guanabana (soursop) is the crown jewel of the Mega Summer crafting system, producing spiky green fruits worth 38,000₵ each. This exotic tree requires progression through the entire crafting chain, but the investment pays off handsomely. Each tree yields 3-4 large soursop fruits that look like green, spiky hearts. The fruits have a creamy white interior (visible when harvested) and emit a tropical fragrance. During my testing, Guanabanas showed exceptional performance with the new Aurora Borealis weather, often gaining multiple mutations. The crafting requirement keeps these trees rare and valuable - perfect for dedicated farmers looking for exclusive profits!
Hive Fruit - Bee Event Exclusive High Value Crop
Exclusive to the Bee Swarm event, Hive Fruit combines high value (28,000₵) with unique hexagonal shapes that stack together like a real beehive. Each plant produces 3-4 golden hexagonal fruits that buzz softly when ready to harvest. The multi-harvest nature and bee-themed mutations make this a must-have for collectors. During bee events, these fruits can gain the Pollinated mutation for extra value. They also attract bee pets, which can apply additional beneficial effects to nearby crops. With the Mega Summer update, Hive Fruits gained compatibility with the new Hyacinth Macaw pet, which can apply the Wiltproof mutation!
Loquat - Profitable Summer Tree Addition (NEW!)
Part of the Summer Harvest update, Loquat trees bring a tropical feel to your garden with clusters of small, orange fruits. At 22,000₵ per harvest with 4-5 fruits per tree, they offer solid returns on the 2.8 million investment. The trees grow to medium height with broad leaves that provide shade to smaller plants below. Loquats have shown exceptional compatibility with the new Heat Wave weather, often gaining the Sundried mutation. They're also one of the few crops that can be submitted for maximum Summer Harvest points.
Feijoa - Fast-Growing Exotic Fruit Tree (NEW!)
Another Summer addition, Feijoa (pronounced fay-JOH-ah) produces unique green, egg-shaped fruits with a tropical flavor profile. Each tree yields 3-4 fruits worth 20,000₵ each, making them profitable multi-harvest options. The distinctive silvery-green leaves make Feijoas easy to identify in a crowded garden. They grow slightly faster than most Divine crops and show good mutation rates during wind events. I've found that planting Feijoas near Loquats creates an attractive tropical corner in any garden.
B-Tier Crops: Best Mid-Game Investment Seeds
Once you've outgrown basic crops but can't afford S-tier seeds yet, these B-tier options will carry you through the mid-game grind.
Pitcher Plant - Carnivorous Cash Generator (NEW!)
The Mega Summer update brought this fascinating carnivorous plant to Grow a Garden! At 10,000₵ per harvest, the Pitcher Plant offers unique visuals with its distinctive pitcher-shaped traps that actually animate when catching flies. Each plant produces 2-3 pitchers that fill with a mysterious liquid. The 900,000₵ price point makes it accessible to mid-game players looking for something different. What sets Pitcher Plant apart is its interaction with the new Fennec Fox pet from the Oasis Egg - the fox's mutation-copying ability works especially well near these plants. During humid weather, Pitcher Plants have increased growth speed and mutation chances!
Dragon Fruit - Fast Growing Mythical Cactus
This vibrant pink fruit combines decent profits (9,000₵) with relatively fast growth for a Mythical crop. The Dragon Fruit cactus has a unique climbing growth pattern, producing stunning pink fruits with green scales. Each plant yields 2-3 fruits per harvest cycle. Dragon Fruit plants are multi-harvest and produce multiple fruits, making them perfect for filling empty garden space while you save for better seeds. They're particularly beautiful at night when the fruits seem to glow softly. During the Summer update, Dragon Fruits gained increased compatibility with heat-based mutations.
Aloe Vera - Healing Profits All Day (NEW!)
Part of the Summer Seed Pack collection, Aloe Vera brings medicinal vibes to your garden with its thick, spiky leaves producing valuable gel worth 8,200₵ per harvest. This multi-harvest succulent grows in a distinctive rosette pattern with leaves that actually "bleed" aloe gel when harvested. The visual effect is incredibly satisfying! Each plant produces 3-4 gel portions per cycle. Aloe Vera thrives in hot weather and has natural resistance to wilting. During the Mega Summer Harvest event, these plants contribute solid points while maintaining steady profit margins. Pro tip: Plant Aloe Vera near Cactus for a desert-themed garden section that's both profitable and aesthetic!
Cactus - Desert Plant with Shocking Profits
Don't let the spines fool you - Cactus is incredibly profitable with the right setup. At 7,000₵ base value and extreme durability, these desert dwellers thrive with minimal attention. The cactus grows in segments, adding a new piece every few hours until it reaches maximum height. Each segment can be harvested individually, making it unique among crops. They take forever to grow initially, but patient farmers are rewarded with consistent income. Shocked Cactus can sell for 700,000₵+! The spines actually damage players who touch them, adding a fun defensive element to your garden.
Dragon Fruit - Fast Growing Mythical Cactus
This vibrant pink fruit combines decent profits (9,000₵) with relatively fast growth for a Mythical crop. The Dragon Fruit cactus has a unique climbing growth pattern, producing stunning pink fruits with green scales. Each plant yields 2-3 fruits per harvest cycle. Dragon Fruit plants are multi-harvest and produce multiple fruits, making them perfect for filling empty garden space while you save for better seeds. They're particularly beautiful at night when the fruits seem to glow softly. During the Summer update, Dragon Fruits gained increased compatibility with heat-based mutations.
Mango - Reliable Tropical Tree Investment
Everyone loves Mangoes, and at 6,500₵ per fruit, they love your wallet too! The mango tree grows with a full canopy of leaves, providing one of the best shade coverages in the game. Each tree produces 3-5 mangoes that hang from branches at varying heights. Fast-growing for a tree crop and consistently profitable, Mango is the perfect "set and forget" option. Rainbow Mangoes can fetch 325,000₵+, making mutation hunting extra rewarding. The fruits change color from green to orange-red when ripe, making harvest timing easy.
Bamboo - Fast Growing Utility Crop
While technically single-harvest, Bamboo's 5,000₵ value and incredible growth speed make it a mid-game staple. Bamboo grows in tall, thin stalks that can be climbed like ladders, making it invaluable for reaching high fruits. Each stalk grows to different heights, creating a natural staircase effect. The hollow stalks make a distinctive sound when harvested. I always keep 20-30 bamboo plants on one edge of my garden for both profit and utility. During windy weather, bamboo can gain the Windstruck mutation for massive value increases.
Avocado - Summer's Green Gold Investment (NEW!)
The Summer update brought everyone's favorite toast topping to Grow a Garden! Avocado trees produce 2-3 large, pear-shaped fruits worth 8,500₵ each. The trees have distinctive dark green leaves and the avocados hang from branches, changing from green to dark purple-black when ripe. With a reasonable 600,000₵ price tag and multi-harvest capability, they're perfect for mid-game players. Avocados show excellent mutation rates during Heat Wave weather and contribute high points to the Summer Harvest event.
Parasol Flower - Unique Umbrella-Shaped Bloom (NEW!)
This unique Summer addition grows a flower that literally looks like a beach umbrella! The Parasol Flower produces a single large bloom worth 7,500₵ that regenerates every few hours. The flower petals form a perfect circle with radiating colors from the center, and the whole flower slowly rotates. At 550,000₵ per seed, it's an affordable way to add both beauty and profit to your garden. The parasol shape actually provides shade to smaller plants underneath, potentially increasing their growth rates.
Bell Pepper - Colorful Multi-Harvest Vegetable (NEW!)
Not to be confused with regular Pepper or Dragon Pepper, Bell Pepper brings a rainbow of colors to your garden. Each plant produces 3-4 bell-shaped peppers that can be red, yellow, or green, worth 7,200₵ each. The plants grow to waist height with thick stems and broad leaves. Bell Peppers have shown exceptional performance during the Summer Harvest event, often gaining multiple mutations. They're also one of the easier summer crops to mass-produce due to their medium growth time.
Kiwi - Vine Fruit with Canopy Coverage (NEW!)
Kiwi vines create a unique overhead canopy in your garden, with fuzzy brown fruits hanging down worth 7,800₵ each. Each vine produces 4-6 kiwis per harvest cycle, making them quite profitable for their 520,000₵ cost. The vines can actually be trained to grow horizontally, creating natural archways in your garden. Kiwis have a special interaction with the new Wind weather, where they sway dramatically and have increased chances for the Windstruck mutation.
C-Tier Crops: Essential Early Game Seeds
These crops won't make you rich overnight, but they're crucial stepping stones on your path to garden greatness.
Watermelon - Best Legendary Tier Starter Crop
At 3,000₵ per melon, Watermelon offers the best value in the Legendary tier. These massive fruits are perfect for new players transitioning from Rare to Legendary crops. Each vine produces one enormous watermelon that can weigh up to 50kg, affecting its final sale price. The distinctive green striped pattern makes them easy to identify, and they make a satisfying "thunk" sound when harvested. During summer events, watermelons have increased chances for valuable mutations. Plus, they look great in any garden layout!
Pumpkin - Seasonal Favorite with Event Bonuses
While not limited to October, Pumpkins shine during spooky season with special event bonuses. At 2,500₵ each, these orange giants provide steady income for mid-tier players. Each vine produces one large pumpkin that grows visibly larger each day. The pumpkins can reach impressive sizes, with the largest recorded being over 100kg! They're particularly profitable during full moon events where they can gain the Moonlit mutation. The vines spread out considerably, so plan your garden space accordingly.
Apple - Traditional Orchard Staple
The traditional red apple tree is a garden staple, producing 3-4 apples worth 2,000₵ each per harvest cycle. Apple trees grow to medium height with a full canopy that provides good shade coverage. The apples start green and gradually turn red as they ripen, making harvest timing intuitive. While not the most profitable, apple trees are reliable and aesthetically pleasing. They pair well with the new Green Apple variety for a diverse orchard section.
Green Apple - Sour Summer Variant (NEW!)
Introduced in the Summer update, Green Apples offer a slight value boost over regular apples at 2,200₵ each. The trees are nearly identical to regular apple trees but maintain their green color even when ripe. Each tree produces 3-4 apples per cycle. Green Apples have shown increased mutation rates during Heat Wave weather and contribute well to Summer Harvest points. They're perfect for players who want variety without breaking the bank.
Prickly Pear - Desert Cactus with Colorful Fruit (NEW!)
This cactus-family addition produces vibrant purple-red fruits worth 1,200₵ each on flat, paddle-shaped segments. Each plant grows 4-6 pads that can each produce a fruit, making it quite profitable for a Rare crop. The 45,000₵ price point makes it accessible to newer players. Prickly Pears thrive in hot weather and have natural resistance to the Dry mutation. The purple fruits contrast beautifully with the green pads, adding color to any desert-themed garden section.
Delphinium - Summer Shop's Budget Beauty (NEW!)
For just 2 Summer Coins, Delphinium offers incredible value for players participating in the Mega Summer Harvest event. This lavender-colored flower resembles a miniature corn cob but produces beautiful purple blooms worth 4,500₵ each. The plant grows quickly to chest height with multiple flower spikes per stem. What makes Delphinium special is its accessibility - you can earn it through event participation rather than lucky RNG or millions of Sheckles. During my testing, I found that 10-15 Delphiniums can generate steady income while you save Summer Coins for rarer items. They're particularly pretty when planted in rows, creating a purple wave effect in your garden!
Tomato - The Universal Starter Crop
Always available in Tom's Shop, Tomato is the backbone of early-game farming. At 800₵ per fruit with fast regrowth, you can quickly build capital for better investments. Each plant produces 4-5 tomatoes that turn from green to bright red when ripe. The plants are compact and easy to arrange in neat rows. I still keep a Tomato patch for nostalgia - and quick cash during mutation events! During the Summer update, tomatoes became crucial for Summer Harvest point farming due to their rapid growth.
Corn - Golden Rows of Steady Income
Similar to Tomato but slightly cheaper, Corn provides steady income for beginners. The tall stalks make harvesting easy, and the golden kernels are satisfying to collect. Each stalk produces 2-3 ears of corn worth 600₵ each. The plants grow in neat, tall rows that can act as natural barriers in your garden. Pro tip: Plant Corn in neat rows for an aesthetic farm look while earning! During windy weather, corn stalks sway dramatically and can gain the Windstruck mutation.
D-Tier Crops: Absolute Beginner Seeds Only
These crops serve one purpose - getting brand new players started. Upgrade from these ASAP!
Carrot - Every Farmer's First Crop
Every Grow a Garden journey starts with Carrots. At 18₵ per carrot, you'll need to plant hundreds to afford anything decent. These small orange vegetables grow in just minutes, teaching new players the basic mechanics of planting and harvesting. They grow lightning-fast and disappear after harvest, teaching new players the basics. Each carrot is individually planted and harvested, which can be tedious but educational. Graduate from Carrots within your first hour of playing! The only time I plant carrots now is for specific quests that require them.
Wild Carrot - Slightly Better Starter Option (NEW!)
The Summer update introduced Wild Carrot as a slight upgrade to regular carrots at 25₵ each. These have a more natural, twisted appearance with leafy green tops. They grow just as fast as regular carrots but offer marginally better returns. Wild Carrots can actually spread to adjacent empty plots if left unharvested, creating a naturalistic garden look. Still, they're only meant for absolute beginners who need that extra 7₵ per harvest.
Strawberry - Introduction to Multi-Harvest Crops
Your first taste of passive income! Strawberries introduce the multi-harvest mechanic with their measly 50₵ fruits. Each plant produces 3-4 small berries that regrow quickly after harvesting. The plants are compact with white flowers that bloom before fruiting. Still, they're a massive upgrade from Carrots and will carry you until you can afford Tomatoes. I recommend planting at least 20-30 strawberry plants to generate enough income for your first Rare seeds.
Blueberry - Minimal Upgrade from Strawberries
Slightly better than Strawberries at 100₵ per berry, but still firmly in "tutorial crop" territory. Blueberry bushes produce clusters of 5-6 tiny berries per harvest cycle. The blue color adds variety to starter gardens, and the bushes have attractive small white flowers. The berries are so small they can be hard to click on for harvesting, which can be frustrating. Once you have 10,000₵ saved, immediately upgrade to Tomatoes or Corn.
Orange Tulip - Quick Profit Flower
At 600₵ cost and 750₵ sale price, Orange Tulips offer quick 150₵ profit per flower. These single-harvest flowers grow in about an hour and produce one bright orange bloom. The flowers have a classic tulip shape and add nice color to early gardens. However, the single-harvest nature means constant replanting, which gets tedious quickly. They're best used for completing flower-specific quests or when you need quick cash for a specific purchase.
Daffodil - Poor Value Despite Rare Status
Despite being a Rare crop, Daffodils offer poor value at only 400₵ return on a 5,000₵ investment. These cheerful yellow flowers grow in small clusters but disappear after harvesting. The only reason to plant Daffodils is for completing specific quests or if you're collecting every crop type. The flowers do look nice in a spring garden setup, but that's about their only merit. Save your money for multi-harvest crops instead.
Pro Strategies for Maximum Profits
Mega Summer Harvest Mastery
The Mega Harvest event (1 in 3 chance every hour) DOUBLES all harvest points! Time your submissions carefully - save your rarest summer crops for Mega events to maximize Summer Coin earnings. Focus on fast-growing crops like Tomatoes and Cauliflower for quantity, but keep some Sugar Apples or Rosy Delights for those 2x point bonuses. Pro tip: The new Axolotl pet has a 6.66% chance to keep summer fruits after harvesting, effectively giving you free submissions!
Summer Shop Economics
Summer Coins are the new meta currency! Exchange rate: 1,000 harvest points = 1 Summer Coin. Prioritize buying Delphinium (2 coins) early for quick profits, then save for the Woodland flower (16 coins) or Oasis Eggs (10 coins). The traveling Sky/Gnome merchants appear every 4 hours for 30 minutes with exclusive items - set timers to catch them!
Magnifying Glass Investment Strategy
The new Magnifying Glass (10M Sheckles) is game-changing! Check crop values WITHOUT harvesting, letting you keep valuable mutations indefinitely. This is essential for collectors who want to display rare mutations. Use it to identify which crops to submit during Mega Harvest events for maximum points. The glass also reveals exact weight and mutation combinations, helping you learn which combos are most valuable.
Mutation Stacking 2.0
Never harvest high-value crops immediately! The new mutations from Mega Summer (Sundried 85x, Wiltproof) stack with classics. A Sunflower with Dawnbound (50x) + Sundried (85x) + Gold (10x) can reach values over 50 million! The new Aurora Borealis weather adds another mutation chance. Maximum theoretical multiplier is now 5,550x with perfect stacking!
Event Timing Tactics
Save single-harvest seeds for guaranteed mutation events. Blood Moon happens every 3 hours for 10 minutes - mark your calendar! Plant Mushrooms, Cantaloupe, and Bamboo right before these events. The new Heat Wave weather is perfect for Sundried mutations (85x) on any crop. Coordinate with your server during Mega Harvest events to ensure everyone reaches the 120+ point threshold for maximum rewards!
Smart Progression Path 2.0
Start with Carrot → Strawberry → Tomato → Bamboo → Cactus → Mango → Pepper → Sugar Apple → Sunflower. With the Mega Summer update, add Pitcher Plant and Aloe Vera to your mid-game progression. Focus on earning Summer Coins through event participation to unlock exclusive Summer Shop items. Skip tiers if you get lucky with Oasis Egg pets - the Fennec Fox can copy rare mutations from other players!
Garden Layout Optimization
Organize your garden into sections: dedicate one area to fast-growing summer crops for event farming, another for long-term investments, and a special section for mutation display using the Magnifying Glass. Use tall crops like Beanstalk and Bamboo on the edges to create natural ladders. Place shade-providing trees (Mango, Apple, Avocado) over smaller plants to potentially boost their growth rates. Keep single-harvest seeds grouped together for easy replanting during events.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the absolute best crop for beginners in Grow a Garden?
Tomato, hands down. It's always available, affordable at 20,000₵, multi-harvest, and provides enough income to progress steadily. Plant 10-20 Tomatoes and you'll have steady income within hours. Orange Tulip is another great starter option - costs only 600₵ and sells for 750₵, giving you quick 150₵ profit per flower.
What is the most profitable crop in Grow a Garden?
Candy Blossom is the undisputed king with a base value of 100,000₵ that can reach billions with mutations. However, it was an Easter 2025 exclusive with only 4% appearance rate. For non-event crops, Sugar Apple is the best - producing 8 fruits at 50,000₵ each (400,000₵ per harvest). The new Elephant Ears from Summer update is a close second at 80,000₵ base value.
How do mutations work in Grow a Garden?
Mutations multiply your crop's base value. Common ones include Wet (2x), Gold (10x), and Rainbow (50x). Rare mutations like Shocked (50x), Sundried (85x), or Celestial (120x) can stack, turning a 1,000₵ crop into millions. Weather events, special tools, and pets can trigger mutations. The Summer update added several new mutations including Sundried (85x) and Windstruck.
Should I focus on single-harvest or multi-harvest crops?
Multi-harvest crops are generally better for consistent income since they keep producing forever. Single-harvest crops like Mushroom (30,000₵) or Cantaloupe (2,800₵) are only worth it during guaranteed mutation events like Blood Moon or Thunderstorms. Use single-harvest crops strategically for event farming.
How often does Tom's Shop restock?
Tom's Shop (formerly Sam's) restocks every 5 minutes with random seeds. Divine seeds have roughly 0.5-2% appearance rates, while Prismatic seeds are around 0.01%. The stock is the same globally for all players, but purchases don't affect others' availability. Summer crops are now the primary stock with some classics remaining.
What's the best progression path for new players?
Start with Carrot → Strawberry → Tomato → Corn → Green Apple → Bamboo → Cactus → Mango → Pepper → Sugar Apple. This ensures steady income growth without overextending your budget. Focus on multi-harvest crops and reinvest profits into higher-tier seeds. The new summer crops provide good mid-tier options.
Are Robux seed packs worth buying?
The Exotic Seed Pack (199 Robux) can contain Divine crops worth millions, but it's gambling. You might get Soul Fruit or Cursed Fruit, or just common seeds. The new Summer Seed Pack has better odds for valuable crops like Elephant Ears or Rosy Delight. If you're F2P, stick to Tom's Shop and daily quest rewards.
When should I dig up crops?
Only dig up single-harvest crops after harvesting or when replacing low-tier plants with significantly better ones. A producing plant generates continuous value, so keep multi-harvest crops planted indefinitely. The new Reclaimer tool from the Summer update lets you recover seeds when removing plants!
Can crops die or wilt in Grow a Garden?
No! Crops never die, wilt, or need maintenance. Once planted, they'll produce forever (multi-harvest) or until picked (single-harvest). Watering cans and sprinklers only boost growth speed and mutation chances. The new Tanning Mirror increases Sundried mutation chances during Heat Wave weather.
What are the best pets for crop mutations?
S-tier pets include Dragonfly (applies Gold mutation), Disco Bee (Disco mutation), and Raccoon (steals seeds). The Summer update added Mimic Octopus which can copy any pet ability, and Macaw which increases the value of tropical fruits like Mango and Avocado.
How do I maximize Summer Harvest event rewards?
Focus on quantity over quality for points. Grow fast crops like Tomatoes, Cauliflower, and Wild Carrots. Hoard them between events, then submit everything at once. Coordinate with your server - reaching 120+ points unlocks the best rewards including exclusive seeds from past events!
What changed in the Mega Summer Harvest update?
The Mega Summer Harvest (Update 1.12.0) added: Mega Harvest events (1 in 3 chance, 2x points), Summer Shop with Georgia NPC, Summer Coins currency, Oasis Egg with 5 new pets (including the mutation-copying Fennec Fox), Magnifying Glass gear (10M Sheckles), traveling Sky/Gnome merchants every 4 hours, Aurora Borealis weather, new crops like Pitcher Plant and Guanabana, and the ability to check crop values without harvesting!
How do I get Summer Coins in Grow a Garden?
Earn Summer Coins by participating in Summer/Mega Harvest events. Every 1,000 harvest points = 1 Summer Coin. Submit summer crops (from Tom's Shop or Summer Seed Packs) to the central cart during the 10-minute events that happen every hour. Mega Harvest events give 2x points! Use coins at Georgia's Summer Shop for exclusive items like Delphinium seeds, Oasis Eggs, or rare gear.
What is the Magnifying Glass and is it worth 10 million Sheckles?
The Magnifying Glass lets you check any crop's exact value, weight, and mutations WITHOUT harvesting it! This is game-changing for collectors who want to keep rare mutations forever. It's also perfect for identifying which crops to submit during events for maximum points. If you're serious about profit optimization or collection, it's absolutely worth the investment. Available at the Gear Shop when in stock.
Which Oasis Egg pet is the best?
The Fennec Fox is hands-down the best Oasis Egg pet! Every 22 minutes, it visits another player's fruit, copies its mutation, and applies it to your non-mutated fruit. This means free access to rare mutations like Disco or Voidtouched! Other great options include Hyacinth Macaw (applies Wiltproof mutation) and Meerkat (reduces other pets' cooldowns). The Oasis Egg costs 10 Summer Coins from the Summer Shop.
There you have it - my complete tier list for all 95+ crops in Grow a Garden, fully updated for the Mega Summer Harvest event! Remember, while S-tier crops offer the highest profits, a diverse garden with multiple tiers often provides the most stable income. The new Summer Coins system and exclusive Summer Shop items have created exciting new progression paths for both new and veteran players.
The Mega Summer update has truly revolutionized the game with features like the Magnifying Glass, mutation-copying pets, and the potential for 2x harvest points. Whether you're farming Summer Coins for that exclusive Oasis Egg or saving millions for the game-changing Magnifying Glass, there's never been a better time to grow your garden empire!
