- A Mushroom seed (single harvest) costs 150,000¢, but it pays off with decent profits.

- Venus Fly Trap: Rare renewable seed with strong base value, excellent for high-density layouts. It can be obtained from Seed Packs.
- Grape: It has a premium cost (a whopping 850,000¢) but infinite regrowth and high sale price make it one of the best crops in the game right now.
- Pepper: The priciest renewable seed (costing 1,000,000¢), it rewards players with the largest harvest payouts, especially if they are mutated.
Strategies to Keep in Mind
After a certain point in the game, you might want to focus on multi-harvest plants only which removes the repeated seed-buying costs and keeps giving you consistent harvests. Start with the cheapest renewable seeds. Once you’ve earned the initially invested money back, sell all early harvests to purchase mid-tier seed. Keep doing this until you can afford end-game seeds.
A good tip is to plan your layout carefully by placing similar high-value crops together in compact blocks. This makes harvesting faster and, when combined with sprinklers, makes them even more profitable. Plus, adding a lightning rod in this location will give the Shocked mutation to your best crops.
Optimize your farmland when you’re transitioning to a higher level of crops. Once you unlock a higher tier, remove lower-value crops to free up areas.
Keep an eye on in-game weather alerts. Rain and thunderstorms can trigger “Wet” or “Shocked” mutations, multiplying your sale values—especially powerful on premium seeds.
With all of these steps, you will be able to increase the value of your garden and optimize the crop quality in Grow a Garden easily.
