Mastering Mutations: Your Guide to Wealth in Grow A Garden

In the popular game Grow A Garden, mutations are your golden ticket to growing a vast fortune. These special plant variations significantly boost crop value, and your loyal pets can even help transform ordinary plants into these highly sought-after mutated versions. If you’re looking to rake in the cash quickly, understanding and mastering mutations is absolutely essential.

With so many players diving into this popular Roblox gardening simulation, figuring out the most valuable mutations in Grow A Garden is a top priority. But where do you begin? This comprehensive guide will walk you through every mutation available, from those perfect for beginners to the highly lucrative event-specific types, and even reveal which pets are best for maximizing your mutation multipliers.

Top Tier Mutations in Grow A Garden

When it comes to maximizing your profits in Grow A Garden, certain mutations stand out. Here are the mutations you should aim for:

• Shocked
• Paradisal
• Celestial
• Dawnbound
• Sundried
• Frozen
• Zen
• Corrupt
• Disco
• Meteoric

Naturally, the most desirable mutations offer the highest multiplier bonuses when selling your plants. For instance, Shocked, Paradisal, Celestial, and Dawnbound provide the biggest value boosts in the standard game, outside of special events. However, these are also the trickiest to acquire. They often depend on unpredictable events like lightning strikes or meteor showers, rare weather combinations, or offering sunflowers to an elusive Sun God. Pets with the “Ascended” mutation can grant an incredible 150x value to plants, but these are exceptionally rare finds.

Looking at more common in-game weather events, a Heat Wave can lead to Sundried mutations, which boast an impressive 85x multiplier. While still rare, they only require Heat Wave weather to be active to affect your crops and pets. Multiplier rates decrease from there, but a Frozen crop, for example, offers 10 times the base value and is relatively easier to achieve by exposing a Wet or Drenched plant to a Frost weather effect. Sushi Bear pets are also known to apply the Frozen effect.

Your most strategic approach should be to focus on the event-specific weather conditions and acquiring the corresponding pet. Getting these animal companions usually involves significant time and resource investment, completing special event quests, and then purchasing an egg with a chance to hatch the desired creature. Some events, like the Zen update’s Zen and Corrupt weather, automatically converted plants and added a 20x value bonus. Among event pets, the Disco Bee and Lobster Thermidor are highly valuable. They can apply Disco and Meteoric mutations, respectively, granting an astounding 125x value to affected plants.
