One of the biggest updates for Grow a Garden has dropped, and the developers have added five new mutations in the game. With the summer heat rising, the game has incorporated a new event, where you have the chance to get the Sundried mutation on your plants. So, for those wondering what the different ways to get this mutation in the game are, and how much it boosts the sale value, you’re in the right place. In this guide, learn about the Heatwave weather event and how it gives the Sundried mutation in Grow a Garden.
How to Obtain Sundried Mutation in Grow a Garden
The Sundried mutation can be obtained naturally when the Heatwave event is active in Grow a Garden. This is the only time when your plants have a chance to get this mutation.
When the Heatwave event is ongoing, you will see beams of yellow light emerge from the sun and fall upon the plants in your garden. It looks like a flashier version of the Meteor Shower event. So, you must be prepared for that with the tips given in the section below.

The Sundried mutation is simple. It drains the color from your fruits and makes them look pale and charred. The fruit looks slightly orange-colored if they are white like the new Cauliflower plant that arrives as one of the new Grow a Garden Summer update seeds.
As for the sale value multiplier, the Sundried mutation increases the sale price of the harvests by 85 times. It’s a pretty decent sale value multiplier because it occurs frequently and can help you farm money in Grow a Garden easily.
Best Tips to Get Sundried Mutation in Grow a Garden
Similar to other Grow a Garden mutations, the chances of getting the Sundried mutation are simply random. So, here are some ways to increase the count of Sundried fruit in your garden:
1. Use the New Tanning Mirror
The first and most efficient way is to buy the Tanning Mirror from the Gear shop in Grow a Garden. This gear reflects the sun beams towards the plants in your garden.
Placing this gear near some of the rarest plants in your plot will guarantee the 4x Sundried mutation on them. Like the lightning rod has three redirects, the Tanning Mirror will redirect the sun’s beams a total of 10 times to random fruits during the Heatwave weather event in Grow a Garden.
2. Use Multi-Harvest Crops
Next comes the step of planting a large number of multi-harvest crops, which bear multiple fruits at a single time. So, even if you exit the game and are AFK for a while, all of these crops will receive the Sundried mutation without putting much effort.
You can later use the harvester tool to collect all the fruits with a single click. Now, here are some of the best new Summer seeds in Grow a Garden that you should try planting in your garden: Loquat, Prickly Pear, Avocado, and Feijoa, for the maximum profits.
3. Harvest Crops Before Heatwave Event
Finally, consider harvesting or collecting all fruits before the event starts, as there will be new fruits to apply the mutation to. Although this is based on chance as there is no fixed interval for the event’s occurance, I would still recommend collecting the fruits every few minutes.
So, now you know how to get the Sundried mutation in Grow a Garden. But, did you see Jandel call upon the higher powers and summon aliens to give the Alienlike mutation in Grow a Garden? Let us know in the comments below.
