Wondering how to get all Mutations in Grow A Garden? Harvesting regular crops in Grow A Garden is one thing, but if you want the really good stuff that will yield plenty of Sheckles upon sale, you need to harvest Mutations, which are unique crop variants that only grow under certain conditions. Mutations are great, since they give the harvest price of your crops a nice multiplier that can bring in hefty amounts of cash. But if you want these special transformations, you need to ensure that you're gardening during particular weather events or using other factors (such as Pets or Sprinklers) to influence your crop growth.
Like everything in Grow A Garden, mastering Mutations is an RNG-heavy process. In this guide, we'll explain how to get all Mutations in Grow A Garden, presenting an easy-to-follow list that describes each Mutation as well as its conditions for appearing within the game.
In this guide:

Others are even rarer occurrences that are linked to an admin's actions in-game or certain Pets that were only made available to celebrate Grow A Garden updates.

Best Mutations in Grow A Garden
Our picks for the best Mutations in Grow A Garden are Disco, Shocked, and Celestial.
Disco: Disco is a fun 125x multiplier Mutation that is unfortunately linked to the extremely rare Disco event. But if you get your hands on a Disco Bee Pet, you needn't wait around for an event. Our guide on getting all Pets in Grow A Garden has the details - though you should know ahead of time that you'll need an Anti Bee Egg, which currently costs 149 Robux - AKA real world money. Alas!
Shocked: If you'd rather not spend Robux, Shocked is a great Mutation that's rare but still obtainable for free. To get that sweet 100x multiplier, put a Lightning Rod in your garden and cross your fingers. At the moment, you can also get Shocked via a Shocked Mutation Spray, which can be obtained at the Bizzy Bee crafting station. You'll need to give Bizzy Bee a Cleaning Spray (15,000,000 Sheckles), one Lightning Rod, and 250 Honey. That said, it can take quite a while to get that much honey.
Celestial: In terms of normal Mutations that are not linked to Robux or limited-time events, there's no beating Celestial. This Mutation literally occurs once in a blue moon (or rather, when meteors come crashing down past the moon), but that 120x crop multiplier is truly nice once you get it. So go buy a Star Caller, install it in your garden, and hope for the best. Here's a tip - Meteor Shower events have around a 33% chance of occurring during Night or Blood Moon events.
