Seeds & Crops Tier List
A comprehensive ranking of every crop in Grow a Garden 2, based on ROI, growth speed, and defensive viability. Plus, a complete guide to unlocking Golden, Rainbow, and environmental mutations.
Understanding the Crop Economy
In Grow a Garden 2, seeds are the engine of your economy. The value of a crop is determined by its base price, growth time, potential for multiple harvests, and its susceptibility to mutations.
The introduction of the Night Stealing mechanic adds a critical new dimension to crop selection. The ideal crop for most players is one that grows quickly enough to be harvested before nightfall.
Seven Crop Rarities in GAG2
GAG2 adds Super as the highest rarity above Mythic. Higher rarity = higher seed cost, lower restock rate, and typically higher sell values.

|---|---|---|
| Common | Carrot (1ยข), Strawberry (10ยข) | First 30 minutes โ safe, fast turnover |
| Uncommon | Tomato, Apple | Early income bridge to Rare tier |
| Rare | Bamboo, Corn, Cactus | Mid-game stable income |
| Epic | Green Bean, Mushroom, Grape | Multi-harvest focus; Green Bean from TEAMGREENBEAN code |
| Legendary | Acorn, Cherry, Sunflower | High investment, harvest before night |

| Mutation | Multiplier | Weather Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodlit | 80x | Bloodlit weather event |

| Frozen | 40x | Frozen weather event |

GAG1 Reference (Do Not Use for GAG2)
The tables below reflect Grow a Garden 1 mechanics kept for comparison only.
| Mutation Type | Visual Appearance | Multiplier | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | Shimmering, golden color | 20x (GAG1) | Base 1% chance in GAG1. |
| Rainbow | Cycles through rainbow colors | 50x (GAG1) | Extremely rare in GAG1. |

Mutation Strategy and Risk Management
In GAG2, a Bloodlit Moon Bloom is worth harvesting immediately โ 80x multiplier makes it the #1 theft target during night cycle.
Camp weather events actively. Lightning (Electric 70x) and Bloodmoon (Bloodlit 80x) are short โ 2 to 2.5 minutes. Have high-tier seeds planted before the event starts.
Read our Weather Events page for event durations and the full mutation table.
