The Ultimate Grow a Garden Crops Tier List: Every Seed Ranked
Discover the best crops in Grow a Garden with our complete tier list! Find out which seeds offer the highest profits, from SS-tier Zebrazinkle to budget-friendly options for beginners.
If you’ve been playing Grow a Garden on Roblox, you know the struggle is real when it comes to choosing which crops to plant. With 189 different seeds available after the 1.37.0 update, your garden has never had more potential—but not all crops are created equal. Some will make you rich in Sheckles, while others… well, they’re basically just taking up space.
I’ve spent way too much time figuring out which plants are actually worth your investment, and I’m breaking it all down in this complete tier list. Whether you’re chasing that SS-tier profit or just starting out with basic seeds, this guide has you covered.
Understanding the Grow a Garden Tier List
Before we dive into the rankings, here’s how this tier system works:
- SS-Tier: The absolute best crops in the game—these are your money makers
- S-Tier: Extremely profitable and consistently strong performers
- A-Tier: Solid choices that earn good money but can’t quite match the top tiers
- B-Tier: Decent options with reasonable Sheckle averages
- C-Tier: Budget-friendly for beginners, but you’ll want to upgrade eventually
- D-Tier: Only plant these if you need them for events or really like how they look
The “Estimated Profit Per Harvest” I’ll mention shows the ideal money you can earn from each harvest cycle. Keep in mind that for single-harvest crops, this is their one-time payout.
Best Crops in Grow a Garden: Top Seeds You Need
Let me cut straight to the chase—if you want to maximize your Sheckle earnings in Grow a Garden, these are the seeds you should be planting:
Zebrazinkle (2,340,000 Sheckles)
This is currently THE most overpowered seed in the entire game. It produces 9 fruits with those signature zebra-like patterns, and each unit sells for 250k Sheckles. If you can get your hands on this seed, plant it immediately.
Crimson Thorn (1,470,000 Sheckles)
A Transcendent Seed from the Seed Shop that drops 7-8 thorns worth 210k each. This one’s perfect for both direct selling and mutation stacking.
Candy Blossom (1,200,000 Sheckles)
This beauty delivers 12 fruits per round, each selling for over 100k. It’s been a fan favorite since the early updates, and for good reason—the consistency is unmatched.
Maple Resin (1,140,000 Sheckles)
The transcendent plant from the Fall event that usually gives you 6-7 fruits at 190k each. If you participated in that event, you’re sitting on gold.
Gingerbread Blossom (1,000,000 Sheckles)
The reward for completing the Advent Calendar. It grants 4-5 cookie plants, each with a whopping 250k base value.

Many C-tier crops have low base values but can become incredibly valuable when you stack mutations on them. Don’t dismiss them entirely!

Best Plants for Stacking Mutations in Grow a Garden
Here’s something crucial that the basic tier list doesn’t tell you: some crops with lower total profitability actually have HIGHER base value per fruit, making them perfect for mutation stacking. By combining mutations from weather effects, pets, and tools, you can turn their worth into the trillions.
Top Mutation Stacking Crops:
| Plant | Base Price Per Fruit | Average Fruit Count |
|---|---|---|
| Zebrazinkle | 260,000 | 9 |
| Gingerbread Blossom | 250,000 | 4-5 |
| Crimson Thorn | 210,000 | 7-8 |
| Bone Blossom | 200,000 | 4-5 |
| Spirit Sparkle | 200,000 | 4 |
| Maple Resin | 190,000 | 6-7 |
| Cocomango | 180,000 | 4-5 |
Special fruits like Bone Blossoms can become absolutely massive using the Sprinkler method, which further increases their selling price. This is where the real endgame profit lies.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Crop Profits
Consider Fruit Size & Weight The profit you get from each plant can depend on the size and weight of its fruits. Some crops may be better than others if they consistently grow heavier-than-average fruits. For example, Moon Mango has a lower base profit than Maple Apple but often grows bigger fruits, meaning it can end up earning more than its listed value.
Multi-Harvest vs. Single-Harvest Always prioritize multi-harvest crops when possible. A crop that regrows after each harvest will always outperform a one-time plant with a similar base value over time. The only exception is when you’re specifically farming for mutations.
Event-Exclusive Seeds Keep an eye on limited-time events! Seeds like Trinity Fruit (Safari Harvest), Maple Resin (Fall Event), and the Christmas Event crops are often among the most profitable in the game. Miss the event, and you might miss out on SS-tier money makers.
Don’t Sleep on Passives Some crops have passive abilities that can be just as valuable as their Sheckle output. Weeping Branch blesses nearby plants with Evo mutations, Peppermint Vine helps pets reuse traits faster, and Spirit Sparkle changes pet levels. These effects can multiply your earnings across your entire garden.
FAQ
What is the best crop in Grow a Garden right now?
Zebrazinkle is currently the #1 crop in Grow a Garden. It produces 9 fruits with a 250k base value each, totaling 2,340,000 Sheckles per harvest. If you can get this seed, it should be your top priority for planting.
Are single-harvest crops ever worth planting?
Generally, multi-harvest crops are better investments since they regrow after each cycle. However, single-harvest crops can be valuable for mutation stacking strategies, especially if they have high base values per fruit. Plants like Parasol Flower (200k) or Mushroom (151k) can earn massive amounts with the right mutations applied.
How do I unlock Sam’s Seed Shop Tier 2?
You’ll need to level up your progress in the game to unlock Sam’s Seed Shop Tier 2. Once unlocked, you’ll get access to premium seeds like Cocomango (720k per harvest) and Brussels Sprout (360k per harvest), which are among the best non-event crops available.
Should I keep old crops from past events?
Absolutely! Many event crops like Maple Resin, Trinity Fruit, and Bone Blossom are SS-tier or S-tier ranked. Even if you can’t get them anymore, if you have them growing, they’re definitely worth keeping. Check this tier list to see if your old event crops are still profitable—many of them are top-tier money makers.

The beauty of Grow a Garden is that there’s always a path to profit, no matter where you’re at in the game. Start with what you can afford, work your way up through the tiers, and before you know it, you’ll be harvesting millions of Sheckles per cycle. Happy gardening!
