I’ve planted probably every seed in Grow a Garden at this point. Some made me billions. Others were complete wastes of Sheckles that I’m still salty about. This Grow a Garden seed tier list ranks them all so you can skip my expensive mistakes.
Quick reality check: there are over 195 seeds in this game now. Many are event-exclusive and unobtainable. I’m focusing on seeds you can actually get and seeds that actually matter for making money.
The New Year’s Event added the Sparkle Slice Seed and Colorpop Crop Seed. Grab them while the event lasts.

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 absolutely 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. Perfect 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 perfect “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
- Octobloom (288k per fruit, multi-harvest)
- Moon Mango (180k per fruit, 20 fruits per tree)
- Zebrazinkle (260k per harvest)
- Crimson Thorn (210k average)
Best for Mutations
- Great Pumpkin (insane mutated value)
- Dragon Fruit (excellent mutation scaling)
- Mango (multi-harvest = more mutation chances)
- Any S-tier during Thunderstorm/Blood Moon
Best Budget Options
- Bamboo (4k, multi-harvest, 35k+ value)
- Mango (100k, multi-harvest, 65k+ value)
- Watermelon (10k, 20k+ value)
- Corn (100, best starter)
Best Multi-Harvest Seeds
- Octobloom (288k, Transcendent)
- Moon Mango (180k, 20 fruits)
- Bone Blossom (150k, 5 fruits)
- Mango (65k, consistent)
- Bamboo (35k, cheap)
- 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:
- Corn (100 Sheckles) - Build initial capital
- Strawberry (50) - First multi-harvest
- Watermelon (10,000) - First real upgrade
- Bamboo (4,000) - Budget multi-harvest
- Mango (100,000) - Mid-game staple
- Dragon Fruit (250,000) - Mutation farming
- Moon Mango (8B) - Endgame multi-harvest
- Crimson Thorn (15B) - High value single
- 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.
