All Mutations Reference — Grow a Garden 2
Quick reference of all mutations in Grow a Garden 2 with multipliers and weather triggers. Every mutation type, its value range, and how to get it.
Mutations multiply your crop's sell value. This quick reference covers every mutation, its multiplier range, and the weather event that triggers it.
Mutation List
| Mutation | Multiplier | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodlit | 60x–80x | Blood Moon event |
| Starstruck | 50x | Starfall event |
| Aurora | 40x–90x | Aurora Borealis event |
| Electric | 25x–70x | Lightning Storm event |
| Ignited | 20x–50x | Sunburst event |
| Rainbow | 30x | Random mutation chance |
Note: You can only have one mutation per crop at a time. A Bloodlit Moon Bloom will always outperform a Rainbow Moon Bloom — prioritize the highest-multiplier event when possible.
Weather Events
Weather events are the primary way to target specific mutations. When a weather event is active, crops have a significantly higher chance of receiving that event's associated mutation.
| Event | Mutation | Multiplier | Best Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood Moon | Bloodlit | 60x–80x | Save S-tier crops for this event — highest floor and ceiling |
| Aurora Borealis | Aurora | 40x–90x | High-risk, high-reward. Can beat Bloodlit at max roll |
| Starfall | Starstruck | 50x | Reliable mid-tier booster, consistent payout |
| Lightning Storm | Electric | 25x–70x | Wide range with decent floor; farm during event |
| Sunburst | Ignited | 20x–50x | Good for newer players with B-tier crops |
Weather Priority
When multiple events overlap — or when deciding which event to wait for — prioritize in this order:
- Blood Moon — highest floor (60x), best reliability
- Aurora Borealis — highest ceiling (90x), but risky floor (40x)
- Starfall — guaranteed 50x, no RNG variance
- Lightning Storm — decent expected value
- Sunburst — consistent but lowest ceiling
How to Get Mutations
There are three ways to get mutations:
1. Random Chance (~1%)
Every crop has a roughly 1% base chance to mutate when harvested. This is the least reliable method — don't count on it for your most valuable crops.
2. Guaranteed from Special Seeds
Gold Seeds and Rainbow Seeds guarantee a mutation. These seeds are earned through:
- Guild weekly event rewards
- Limited-time codes and events
- High-level progression milestones
Save Gold and Rainbow Seeds for your S-tier crops (Moon Bloom, Ghost Pepper, Dragon's Breath) to maximize their value.
3. Weather Events (Recommended)
The most reliable way to target specific mutations. Check the in-game forecast, plant your best seeds before the event starts, and harvest during the event window for dramatically increased mutation rates.
