With the brand new Beanstalk event update, the silver mutation has arrived, along with three simple ways to get silver fruit. The silver mutation doesn’t just make your harvest shine; instead, it transforms the fruit into a stunning silver color. So, let’s check how to get the silver mutation in Grow a Garden, along with its sell value multiplier.

There are a few simple ways to get the Silver mutation in Grow a Garden, including the new gear— Silver fertilizer. So, here are the best ways to get the Silver mutation in the game:
1. From Natural Generation
In Grow a Garden, there is a 10% chance that a harvest transforms into a silver mutated one as opposed to the regular flower or fruit. This is quite similar to how you get the Gold and Rainbow mutations in the game and is completely based on chance.
2. Using Silver Fertilizer
Another way to obtain this mutation is by using the silver fertilizer item. It’s a new item that you can obtain by completing the Beanstalk event quests, or you can buy it directly from the giant Goliath’s Goods shop at the top of the beanstalk.
Once you get a silver fertilizer, you can use it on any plant to make it silver for 2 hours. This will simply increase the chances of the plant growing a silver fruit. So yes, you are not guaranteed silver fruit using this method as well.
3. From Crystal Beam Event
The next method to get this mutation is from a weather event in Grow a Garden. During the Crystal Beam event, there’s a random chance that you can obtain the Silver mutation.
Once you power up all the 8 crystals spread across the map, the Crystal Bo in the middle explodes to apply mutations to your plants. However, the chances are again low, because you can get a few other mutations from this event, like Aurora, Celestial, or even Shocked.
Best Tips to Get Silver Mutation in Grow a Garden
Since you can get the silver mutation based on random chances and during an exclusive weather event, here are a few ways to increase these chances:
- Plant Multi-Harvest Crops: The first would be to plant the largest number of multi-harvest crops in your garden that grow more than one fruit at a time. This improves the chance of you getting the mutation due to the higher number of fruits.
- Stay Active When Using Silver Fertilizer: When you use the Silver Fertilizer on a multi-harvest plant, make sure to stay active in the game and keep collecting the fruits the moment they are ready, or shovel the normal ones. You can also use gears in Grow a Garden, such as watering cans or Grandmaster sprinklers, to increase their growth rate as well.
Is the Silver Mutation Worth Getting in Grow a Garden?
Focusing on getting the Silver mutation might become a complete waste of your time and resources, due to its low multiplier value. Simply for a 5x increase in the sale value of a harvest won’t help in recovering the amount of money you spent on getting that mutation.
However, while playing the Beanstalk event, you always have high chances of receiving the Silver fertilizer for free. So, you can make use of the fertilizer on a crop of high rarity to turn it into silver for a couple of hours. During this time, you may follow our tips to obtain the Silver mutation on the harvests of that crop to get better returns.
