Want to know what mutations do in Grow a Garden?
Mutations are special effects that change how a crop looks and how much it sells for.
Some crops get mutated by pets, weather, tools, or sprays.
You don’t need to do anything.
Some mutations happen while your crop is growing or when it’s fully grown.
Below is a list of known mutations, what they look like, and how much they multiply the crop’s value.
