What are Mutations?

Crop mutations are rare genetic variations in plants, resulting in unique traits like increased yield, vibrant colors, or special abilities. They’re a core part of Grow A Garden strategy.

How to Trigger Them

Mutations depend on factors like weather, soil quality, rare fertilizers, and crop proximity. Experimentation is key to unlocking them! Sprinklers and pets like Moon Cats can boost chances.

Benefits of Mutations

Mutated crops offer higher market value, increased resources, new crafting recipes, and garden bonuses, essential for advanced gameplay.

Main Mutation Types

Crop Mutations in Grow A Garden transform crops with enhanced visuals and value, driven by weather, tools like Mutation Spray Amber, or pets like the Scarlet Macaw. Mutations like Celestial (120x multiplier) or Voidtouched (135x) can stack up to 5,450x with combinations like Rainbow + Shocked + Frozen.

Pet Mutations

Pet Mutations, introduced in Update 1.14.0, enhance pets via the Mutation Machine (500M Sheckles, level 50+ pets). Mutations like Ascended apply Dawnbound (150x crop multiplier), but reset pet age to 1. Pets like Kitsune offer unique mutations like Chakra.
