The latest Grow a Garden update, named Mega Harvest, featured a variety of new seeds, pets, and mutations. Additionally, players can sometimes witness the beautiful Aurora Borealis weather event in the game. Also called the Northern Lights, this is a random weather event like the Blood Moon and the Night.
Your fruits also have a chance of obtaining the new mutation associated with this mutation during the event. So, this article provides a detailed guide that will tell you all the crucial details about this new weather event.
What happens during the Aurora Borealis event in Grow a Garden

Being a random weather event, there is no concrete way for players to predict when the Aurora Borealis will trigger on the servers. When it does, the map takes on a beautiful appearance, with bright Northern Lights shining in the sky. Players can experience soft music playing during this time. Aside from all this, your plants have a chance to obtain the new Aurora Mutation.
This new mutation gives your fruits a fresh glow that turns them shiny. The fruits also have blue and purple lights pulsing from them. On top of that, the fruit has a faint smoke effect around it. This keeps the Aurora Mutation different from similar ones like Shocked Mutation and Disco Mutation.

If your fruit obtains the Aurora Mutation, its selling price will be boosted by 90 times. This makes it one of the best mutations in the game, right behind Shocked Mutation and Celestial Mutation. If you wait long enough, your fruit might obtain more mutations, further increasing its value by a lot.

Best mutations to get in the game

While all the mutations affect your fruit in some way or another, a couple of them are considered the best. This is mainly because they vastly increase the harvest value of the fruits, allowing you to make a ton of money by selling them. Below, we have a list of such mutations that you should wait for your crops to obtain.
Shocked Mutation

Shocked is one of the best mutations to get for your fruits. This is mainly because it increases the selling value by 100 times. You can get this mutation by either spraying your plant with it or by waiting for the Thunderstorm weather event to trigger on your server.
Celestial Mutation
Celestial Mutation is another great mutation your fruits can obtain. It boosts the selling price of the fruit by 120 times.
However, your fruits can only get this mutation when a Meteor Shower triggers on the server. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen often.
Disco Mutation

Disco Mutation is a limited mutation that can only be obtained during the Disco event in the game or applied by the Disco Bee. It can be triggered by the developer and mostly happens before a new update rolls out. Fruits with this mutation sell for 125 times their original price, making it great to have.
