Grow a Garden 2 Mutations
“Which mutation is best, and how do I get the big ones?”
In Grow a Garden 2, mutations are the fastest way to make your crops worth more. A mutation is a shiny change on a crop that multiplies how much it sells for. A plain crop might sell for a little, but the same crop with the Eclipsed mutation sells for up to 80 times as much.
The tricky part is that there are lots of mutations, each with its own multiplier and its own way to get it. Some come from the weather. Some come from special seeds. A few only show up at night under certain moons. This guide lists every mutation, its exact multiplier, and how to get it.
Heads up: Grow a Garden 2 is a different game from the first Grow a Garden, so its mutations are not the same. If you play the original, see our Grow a Garden mutations list for that game instead.

The Quick Answer
Mutations multiply your crop sell price. The higher the number, the more money you make. Here is the short version:
- Best mutation: Eclipsed at 80x, from the Eclipse weather.
- Easiest big one: Rainbow at 30x, from a Rainbow Seed.
- They do not stack: each crop holds only one mutation at a time.
- Save the best ones for crops that keep making fruit (more on that below).
The rest of this guide has the full list, the exact way to get each mutation, and one money tip most players miss.
Every Mutation and Its Multiplier
Here is every mutation in the game right now, sorted from the biggest multiplier to the smallest. The multiplier is how many times more your crop sells for when it has that mutation. These numbers can change when the game updates.

Eclipsed is the top mutation at 80x, but it is one of the hardest to get because the Eclipse weather is rare. Gold and Rainbow are the easiest big mutations, since you can guarantee them with a Gold Seed or Rainbow Seed.
Each weather, moon, and seed adds its own mutation.
How Mutations Work
Before you chase mutations, it helps to know the rules. They are simple once you see them, and they change how you should play.
- One at a time. Each crop can hold only one mutation. If a crop gets a new mutation, it replaces the old one. Mutations do not stack in this game.
- Rolled when you harvest. Most mutations are decided the moment you pick the crop. When you harvest during a weather event, the game gives the crop one last chance to catch that weather mutation.
- Low base chance. Most weather mutations have about a 1% chance each time you harvest during the event. Rainbow and Electric are rarer, around a 0.33% chance.
- Only a few can grow in. Gold and Rainbow can show up while a crop is still growing. The rest only appear at harvest, so timing your pickup matters.
How to Get Mutations From Weather
Weather is the main way to get mutations. Every server has the same weather at the same time, so when an event starts, it is a good moment to harvest. Here is how often each weather rolls and what it does.
| Weather |
How often |
What it does |
| Rain |
28.6% |
2x growth speed and revives plants (no mutation) |
| Lightning |
21.4% |
Can add Electric (25x) |
| Rainbow |
14.3% |
Boosted Rainbow (30x) plus a Rainbow Carpet |
| Snowfall |
7.1% |
Can add Frozen (14x) |
| Starfall |
7.1% |
Can add Starstruck (50x) |
| Aurora |
7.1% |
Can add Aurora (1.5x) |
| Sunburst |
7.1% |
Can add Ignited (60x) |
| Eclipse |
7.1% |
Can add Eclipsed (80x) |
Rain does not give a mutation, but it is still great because it makes crops grow twice as fast. The rare weather events, like Sunburst and Eclipse, give the biggest mutations, so try to have crops ready to harvest when one starts.
Mutations at Night and Moons
When night falls, one of five moons appears, and this is when stealing starts too. Some moons bring their own mutation or drop special seeds. Here are the moon chances during a night.
| Moon |
Chance |
What it brings |
| Normal night |
77% |
Stealing starts, no special mutation |
| Gold Moon |
13% |
Gold seeds and Gold (10x) crops, plus Midas touch |
| Rainbow Moon |
6% |
Rainbow seeds, Rainbow (30x), and a 2% rainbow pet |
| Blood Moon |
2% |
The Bloodlit (60x) mutation |
| Mega Moon |
2% |
Mega seeds |
A Gold Moon or Rainbow Moon is a great time to farm, because it can turn your plants gold or rainbow and drop the matching seeds. A Blood Moon is rarer but gives the strong Bloodlit mutation.
The Single-Harvest Catch (Money Tip)
Here is the tip most guides skip, and it can save you from wasting a great mutation. The full multiplier only counts on multi-harvest crops, which are the crops that keep making fruit again and again.
On a single-harvest crop, the one you pick just once, the game shrinks the mutation bonus. It uses this rule: your extra value equals 1 plus the multiplier minus 1, times 0.15. In plain terms, big mutations lose most of their power on single-harvest crops.
| Mutation |
On a multi-harvest crop |
On a single-harvest crop |
| Eclipsed |
80x |
About 12.85x |
| Rainbow |
30x |
About 5.35x |
| Gold |
10x |
About 2.35x |
What to do: save your best mutations, like Eclipsed and Bloodlit, for multi-harvest crops so you get the full multiplier. Your sell price also goes up by 10% for each friend playing on your server, so farm with friends when you can.
How to Get Mutations More Often
Mutations are mostly luck, but you can tip the odds in your favor. Here are the best ways to see more of them.
- Plant special seeds. A Gold Seed gives a guaranteed Gold crop, and a Rainbow Seed gives a guaranteed Rainbow crop. You get these seeds from Gold Moons and Rainbow Moons, or from the shop.
- Use mutation pets. Some pets, like the Unicorn and the Golden Dragonfly, quietly raise the mutation chance of every crop in your garden.
- Harvest during events. The best time to pick crops is right when a weather event or a special moon is happening, since that is your chance to catch the mutation.
- Grow a lot at once. Since each harvest has a small chance, a big garden full of crops means more rolls and more mutations.
Mutations Coming Soon
A few more mutations are in the game files but are not fully out yet. Treat these as a sneak peek, since their multipliers and how to get them can still change.
| Mutation |

We will update this list as these mutations go live and the numbers are confirmed. For now, Eclipsed at 80x is still the top mutation you can actually get.
