The economy of Grow a Garden relies on selling crops and using the money earned to purchase Seeds, gear, and more. As such, players are always looking to improve the value of the fruits their crops create. Mutations are the most sought-after sell value-altering option. They apply a multiplier to your produce’s value, granting more money based on the applied Mutation.

Regular Mutations are the Mutations that are not limited to certain events and can trigger at any point in one’s playthrough. Each Mutation has a specific condition that causes it to activate, applying the associated multiplier and raising the value of the affected harvest.

Trending
Certain Mutations, such as Overgrown, Golden, and Rainbow, can occur randomly without player input or reliance on weather events. These Mutation types typically trigger very infrequently, but the chances of them activating can be increased using items like Sprinklers.
Mutations like Shocked, Wet, etc. rely on weather events, which are server-wide events that become active at random intervals. Since they cannot be impacted in any way, there is no reliable way to get these Mutations. Incidentally, they tend to offer some of the highest sell value multipliers in the game.

Not all Mutations are available at all times; some are limited to specific events. For this reason, the produce with such Mutations can become collectibles for those who would prefer to keep one such fruit with them at all times. It is currently unknown whether these Mutations will ever make a return.
