Grow a Garden is packed with seeds to plant, but not all crops offer the same value. Some sell for millions of Sheckles per harvest, while others are only worth keeping for aesthetics or events. If you want to earn more and grow smarter, this updated Best Crops Tier List breaks down the top-performing plants—from the most profitable fruit trees to underrated mutation picks. Whether you’re just starting or optimizing your mega-farm, this guide will help you make the most of every seed.
As of the 1.15.0 update, there are now over 120 crops in Grow a Garden—ranging from event exclusives to shop staples. This tier list includes both active and legacy plants to help players with all kinds of gardens.
How Tiers Work in Grow a Garden
Grow a Garden ranks crops across multiple tiers—S through D—based on their overall performance and selling value. These tiers reflect not just how much a crop sells for, but also its reusability, mutation potential, and how often players still plant it after updates.
Factors considered:
- Base selling price
- Number of fruits/flowers per harvest
- Multi-harvest vs. one-time use
- Mutation and event value
What Are Mutations?
Mutations are special traits that can randomly appear on crops, boosting their value, weight, or even appearance. Some top mutations include Celestial, Voidtouched, and Shocked, and stacking them on low-tier crops (like Coconut or Rose) can multiply their base profits by 10x or more.
