Grow a Garden provides players with some exclusive mutations in addition to the usual fruits and veggies. These mutations are the key to earning some extra cash in the game. While some of these mutations are event-specific, others appear randomly. Once you start playing the game, you might want to know what these mutations are, how to get them, and how they increase your crop’s value. So, here is a comprehensive guide explaining the mutations in Grow a Garden, along with ways to get them easily.

1. Gold Mutation
Gold mutations are hard to obtain since all your fruits have a random chance to get this. The drop rate for Gold mutation is 1%, which means 1 out of every 100 fruits can have it. Moreover, Gold fruits add a 20x multiplier to the sale value in Grow a Garden, thereby helping you make a huge profit.
The best way to get a Gold mutation is to fill your garden with loads of plants to increase the chances of spawning such a fruit. In order to identify the Gold mutation, look out for the shiny stars floating around the fruit in your garden.
2. Rainbow Mutation
The Rainbow mutation is even harder to get than the Gold one. The reason is that this mutation in Grow a Garden only has a 0.1% chance, which is 1 in every 1000 fruits, of appearing on any random fruit. The fruit will keep changing colors and have a round halo of rainbow colors around it.
Although the chances are really low, it adds a whopping 50x multiplier to the sale value of the fruit. So, having a rainbow fruit or veggie grow in your garden can help you make money in Grow a Garden with ease.
To have the maximum chances of getting this mutation, you must densely plant crops in your garden and use Advanced or Godly sprinklers in that area.
3. Wet Mutation
Wet mutations are relatively easy to obtain and are usually found in larger numbers. Usually, the weather in Grow a Garden is sunny, and it rains occasionally. When it’s raining, your fruits will have a 50% chance to get the Wet mutation, along with a significant boost in plant growth rate.
The Wet mutation comes with a 2x multiplier, doubling the sale value of all your fruits. Wet fruits have a characteristic water drop animation that distinguishes them from the regular ones. The best way to get this mutation is, well, wait for the rainy weather.
4. Shocked Mutation
Next, we have the Shocked mutation, which is one of the hardest (yet best) mutations to get in Grow a Garden. You can get this mutation when the weather in your server changes to Thunderstorms. It happens rarely, but when it does, there’s a small chance for lightning to strike your crops. If it does, the crops will get the Shocked mutation. You may increase this chance by placing a Lightning Rod in your plot.
The Shocked fruits glow brightly, emitting light particles, and can be seen from a distance. With this mutation, your fruit gets a powerful 50x sale value multiplier, and sometimes, it can be stacked with Wet, Gold, or Rainbow mutation as well, increasing the price by multiple folds.
5. Chilled Mutation
The Angry Plant update introduces the Snow weather condition in Grow a Garden, which increases the chances of two new mutations. The Chilled mutation is one of them that increases the price of your fruits by 2 times its original value.
You may not quickly notice any change in the color, rather snowflake-like particles seem to be dropping off from the harvest with the Chilled mutation.
6. Frozen Mutation
Finally, the last one on your list is the Frozen mutation, introduced alongside the Chilled one in the Angry Plant update. This might be quite hard to obtain since only the Wet mutated harvest can get the Frozen mutation during Snowy weather.
Due to the hard nature of obtaining this mutation, you will have an increased money multiplier and thereby boost the sale value of your harvest by 10 times.
7. Moonlit Mutation
With the new Lunar event in Grow a Garden, we now have a night cycle in the game for the first time. The best thing about this cycle is that the plants in the garden have an increased chance of getting the Moonlit mutation. This new mutation gives all affected plants 2x sale value.
You can increase your chances of getting this mutation by placing the Night Staff found by completing the Lunar Glow quest. The staff will guarantee this mutation on any six random crops from your garden.
8. Bloodlit Mutation
The Bloodlit mutation can be obtained only during the Blood Moon event. This is a very rare event that occurs every 3 hours in the game and lasts just 10 minutes. So, you need to be prepared with your garden filled with a large number of multi-harvest plants in your plot to get this mutation on most of the plants.
Furthermore, this mutation can increase the sale value of your fruits by 4x, therefore a good deal of profit, if you are lucky enough to get this mutation on most of the plants.
9. Celestial Mutation
Celestial mutation can be obtained during the Meteor Shower event in Grow a Garden. Compared to the Blood Moon event, this event occurs more frequently, however, it lasts for a short time, only 3 minutes.
So, you need to act fast and consider using the Star Caller Tool to easily attract the meteors and get the Celestial mutation on your plants. Now, if you can sell the Celestial mutated fruits for a massive profit, as it multiplies the sale value by 120x.
10. Zombified Mutation
The Zombified mutation is a new mechanic, since this can only be obtained using a Chicken Zombie pet in your garden. The Chicken Zombie pet has a great passive that has a 20.26% chance to grant the Zombified mutation on a random plant every 29.46 minutes.
The Zombified mutation can hugely affect the sale value of your fruits by adding a 25x multiplier on them. So, you can consider placing 3 of such pets in your garden to greatly boost this chance of getting this mutation.
10. Zombified Mutation
This is one of the most exclusive mutations you can obtain in Grow a Garden. Your fruits can only receive the Disco mutation during the admin-exclusive Disco weather. This mutation has the highest sale value multiplier in the game, increasing the price by 125x.
Whenever an admin spawns this weather event, the song Raining Tacos by Parry Gripp starts playing, your character starts dancing, and the play area cycles through rainbow colors like a dance floor.
11. Choc Mutation
The Choc mutation was added to the game during the Easter event in Grow a Garden. All you needed to do was complete the Easter event by submitting 30 kg of gold plants to the Easter shop owner, buy the Chocolate sprinkler, and place it in your garden. This would have given all the surrounding fruits the Choc mutation instantly.
The Choc mutation multiplies the price of fruit by 2x. However, the cost of a Chocolate sprinkler is $500,000. Therefore, it’s recommended to use alongside the rare crops in your field to get higher returns.
Apart from the ones mentioned above, all other fruits are regular fruits that do not have a value multiplier and sell at their base price. Furthermore, there have been cases where these mutations stack to increase the price many times over. For instance, a Wet Shocked Rainbow fruit can have a price that is 5,000 times the base price.
And these are all the mutations in Grow a Garden. So, have you completed the Easter event and claimed your Choc mutation fruits yet? Let us know in the comments below!
