Grow a Garden Mutations — The Complete Guide

Ever wondered why some fruits in Grow a Garden sell for 100 × more than others? The secret is a system called Grow a Garden mutations—rare status effects that alter a crop's appearance and multiply its value.

Below you'll learn what they are, see every mutation at a glance, understand how the value formula works, recognise an active mutation, and find out whether the bonuses can stack.


What are Grow a Garden mutations?

A mutation is a special state that can trigger while a crop is growing. It might be caused by weather (Rain → Wet), time of day (Moonlit at night), server-wide events (Bloodlit during a Blood Moon) or even pet interactions (Honey Glazed from Bee pets). When it happens, the fruit changes colour/effects and receives a fixed value multiplier—anywhere from ×2 to ×150—on top of weight-based pricing.

Crop Value Calculation

The game multiplies the base crop price by every active mutation:

Total Value = Base Value × Growth Mutation × (1 + Σ Stack Bonuses)
  • Growth Mutation = the highest-tier mutation on the fruit (Default ×1, Gold ×20, Rainbow ×50, etc.).
  • Stack Bonuses = all additional bonuses (+1 Wet, +4 Honey Glazed …).

How do you know a mutation happened?

1.
Visual cues – Each mutation has a unique colour effect or particle aura.
2.
Hover text – Point the cursor/reticle at the crop to see its name update (e.g., "Rainbow Orange").
3.
Server notifications – Major weather or global events (Blood Moon, Thunderstorm) pop a banner across the screen.

Can Grow a Garden mutations stack?

Yes. A single fruit can hold multiple simultaneous mutations. Some combine into special forms (Wet + Chilled → Frozen), while others (e.g., Bloodlit + Shocked) simply multiply together, pushing values to hundreds of times the base price. There are a few rule conflicts—only one of Gold or Rainbow can apply, and Wet/Chilled/Frozen are mutually exclusive—but everything else can layer for massive profit.
