Grow a Garden Seed Tier List (2026)

Best Grow a Garden seeds: Great Pumpkin (210k per thorn), Octobloom (288k multi-harvest), Zebrazinkle (260k), and Sparkle Slice (New Year's Event) dominate S+ tier. One Octobloom with double mutations is worth 722 million Sheckles.

I've planted probably every seed at this point. Some made me billions. Others were complete wastes of Sheckles that I'm still salty about.

Quick Tier Overview

Tier Seeds Why
S+ Great Pumpkin, Octobloom, Zebrazinkle, Sparkle Slice Highest base values, insane mutation potential
S Crimson Thorn, Moon Mango, Lilac, Moon Blossom Excellent profit, multi-harvest options
A Mango, Sugar Apple, Dragon Fruit, Bamboo Solid returns, accessible mid-game
B Pineapple, Watermelon, Cactus, Passionfruit Decent profit, good stepping stones
C Corn, Tomato, Strawberry, Blueberry Starter seeds, replace ASAP
D Carrot, Basic seeds Literal waste of garden space

S+ Tier (The Money Printers)

These are endgame seeds. If you can afford them, plant them. No questions.

Seed Base Value Cost Type Notes
Great Pumpkin 210,000 per thorn Event Single (7-8 thorns) Best seed when available
Octobloom 288,888 33B Multi-harvest Highest value multi-harvest
Zebrazinkle 260,000 33B Single Second highest base value
Sparkle Slice 200,000+ Event Shop Single New Year's Event exclusive
Colorpop Crop Event 7-day login Single New Year's grand prize

Great Pumpkin is a Transcendent seed producing 7-8 thorns per harvest at 210,000 Sheckles each. That's 1.47-1.68 million per harvest. Seasonal but broken when available.

Octobloom is the undisputed king for multi-harvest. 288,888 Sheckles per fruit AND it keeps producing. The 33 billion price tag is insane, but it pays for itself.

Sparkle Slice Seed from the New Year's Event shop is the newest S+ addition. Get it while the event lasts through January 3rd.

S Tier (Excellent Seeds)

These are your realistic endgame targets. Expensive but obtainable.

Seed Base Value Cost Type Notes
Crimson Thorn 210,000 avg 15B Single Most accessible high-tier
Moon Mango 180,000+ 8B Multi (20 fruits!) Best multi-harvest value
Lilac 30,000+ 10 honey Multi-harvest Criminally underrated
Moon Blossom 150,000+ Bee Swarm Event Multi Event exclusive
Bone Blossom 150,000+ Halloween Multi (5 fruits) Halloween exclusive
Foxglove 14,000-18,000 Seed packs Multi Easy to get, solid returns

Lilac deserves special attention. It costs only 10 honey but sells for 30,000+ per harvest with multi-harvest returns. The "Lilac Method" is a real money-making strategy in the community.

Moon Mango produces up to 20 fruits per tree. Even at "only" 180k per fruit, that's 3.6 million per plant. Multi-harvest means it keeps producing. Best value seed for most players.

Crimson Thorn is the go-to for single harvest high value. 210k average is no joke, and it's more accessible than Octobloom or Zebrazinkle.

A Tier (Solid Mid-Game Seeds)

These are your bread and butter once you have some capital.

Seed Base Value Cost Type Notes
Mango 65,000+ 100,000 Multi-harvest Best accessible multi-harvest
Sugar Apple 55,000+ 500,000 Single Reliable high value
Dragon Fruit 45,000+ 250,000 Single Good mutation potential
Bamboo 35,000+ 4,000 Multi-harvest Cheap and effective
Soul Fruit 40,000+ Divine tier Single Divine rarity, solid value
Banana 30,000+ 150,000 Multi-harvest Consistent producer

Mango is the MVP of mid-game. 100k Sheckles for a seed that keeps producing 65k+ fruits forever? That's insane value. I ran Mango trees for weeks before upgrading.

Bamboo at only 4,000 Sheckles is criminally underrated. It's multi-harvest with decent value. Great for players transitioning out of starter seeds.

Dragon Fruit has excellent mutation potential. A mutated Dragon Fruit during a Thunderstorm can sell for millions.

B Tier (Good Stepping Stones)

Solid seeds that'll make you money but aren't endgame.

Seed Base Value Cost Type Notes
Pineapple 25,000+ 50,000 Single Reliable returns
Watermelon 20,000+ 10,000 Single Good early-mid transition
Cactus 18,000+ 8,000 Single Mythical tier, accessible
Passionfruit 15,000+ 5,000 Single Decent value for cost
Coconut 12,000+ 3,000 Single Budget mythical option
Pumpkin 10,000+ 2,000 Single Legendary tier starter

Pineapple was my go-to before I could afford Mango. 50k for a seed that sells for 25k+ means you profit after two harvests with mutations.

Watermelon at 10k is the ideal "I just escaped starter seeds" purchase. Solid value, cheap enough to buy in bulk.

C Tier (Starter Seeds)

Use these to build capital, then upgrade immediately.

Seed Base Value Cost Type Notes
Corn 500+ 100 Single Best starter seed
Tomato 300+ 50 Single Cheap and reliable
Strawberry 14+ 50 Multi-harvest Only good C-tier multi
Blueberry 100+ 75 Single Slightly better than tomato
Peach 200+ 150 Single Decent early option

Corn is the best starter seed. 100 Sheckles, reliable growth, decent value. Plant corn until you can afford Watermelon or Pumpkin.

Strawberry is the only C-tier multi-harvest. At 50 Sheckles it's worth having a few for the multiple harvest chances at mutations.

D Tier (Avoid)

These exist but you shouldn't plant them.

Seed Why It's Bad
Carrot Terrible value, slow growth
Basic starter seeds Literally the worst in the game
Most common flowers Decorative only, no profit

I planted carrots for way too long because I thought "cheap seeds = more plants = more money." Wrong. One Corn plant makes more than five Carrot plants.

Best Seeds by Purpose

Best for Raw Profit

  1. Octobloom (288k per fruit, multi-harvest)
  2. Moon Mango (180k per fruit, 20 fruits per tree)
  3. Zebrazinkle (260k per harvest)
  4. Crimson Thorn (210k average)

Best for Mutations

  1. Great Pumpkin (insane mutated value)
  2. Dragon Fruit (excellent mutation scaling)
  3. Mango (multi-harvest = more mutation chances)
  4. Any S-tier during Thunderstorm/Blood Moon

Best Budget Options

  1. Bamboo (4k, multi-harvest, 35k+ value)
  2. Mango (100k, multi-harvest, 65k+ value)
  3. Watermelon (10k, 20k+ value)
  4. Corn (100, best starter)

Best Multi-Harvest Seeds

  1. Octobloom (288k, Transcendent)
  2. Moon Mango (180k, 20 fruits)
  3. Bone Blossom (150k, 5 fruits)
  4. Mango (65k, consistent)
  5. Bamboo (35k, cheap)
  6. Strawberry (14, starter option)

Multi-harvest seeds are generally better long-term because you buy once and harvest forever.

Seed Progression Path

Here's the exact order I'd buy seeds if starting over:

  1. Corn (100 Sheckles) - Build initial capital
  2. Strawberry (50) - First multi-harvest
  3. Watermelon (10,000) - First real upgrade
  4. Bamboo (4,000) - Budget multi-harvest
  5. Mango (100,000) - Mid-game staple
  6. Dragon Fruit (250,000) - Mutation farming
  7. Moon Mango (8B) - Endgame multi-harvest
  8. Crimson Thorn (15B) - High value single
  9. Octobloom (33B) - Best seed in game

Skip everything not on this list. I bought dozens of "cool looking" seeds that were objectively worse than cheaper options.

Mutation Math

This is why seed choice matters so much.

Base values with Shocked mutation (100x):

  • Corn: 500 × 100 = 50,000
  • Mango: 65,000 × 100 = 6,500,000
  • Octobloom: 288,888 × 100 = 28,888,800

Same mutation, wildly different results. Always plant your best seeds before weather events.

Stacked mutations (Shocked + Bloodlit = 2,500x):

  • Corn: 500 × 2,500 = 1,250,000
  • Mango: 65,000 × 2,500 = 162,500,000
  • Octobloom: 288,888 × 2,500 = 722,220,000

One Octobloom with double mutations is worth 722 million Sheckles. This is why S+ tier seeds exist.

Common Mistakes

Buying seeds out of order. The progression path exists for a reason. Don't buy Pineapple when you can't afford Mango yet.

Ignoring multi-harvest seeds. Single harvest seeds need constant repurchasing. Multi-harvest seeds are investments that keep paying.

Planting expensive seeds during normal weather. Your Octobloom should only touch soil when a Thunderstorm or Blood Moon is coming.

Hoarding event seeds. If you have Great Pumpkin seeds from Halloween, plant them during the next major weather event. They're not doing anything in your inventory.

Buying cosmetic seeds. Some seeds look cool but have terrible value. Check the numbers before buying.

Event Seeds Worth Chasing

When these events return, prioritize these seeds:

New Year's Event (Current): Sparkle Slice Seed, Colorpop Crop Seed (7-day login) Halloween: Great Pumpkin, Bone Blossom, Candy Blossom Fall: Maple Resin, Firewell (0.5% chance) Christmas: Spirit Sparkle, Reindeer Root, Peppermint Vine, Gingerbread Blossom Bee Swarm Collab: Moon Blossom, Princess Thorn, Beanstalk, Lilac

Event seeds are often better than shop seeds at similar price points. The New Year's Event runs until at least January 3rd.
