Wondering how you can get the Aurora mutation for your crops in Grow a Garden? Aurora is one of the most profitable mutations in the game, with a 90x multiplier, and it can only be obtained during the Aurora Borealis weather event.
Here’s everything you need to know about Aurora Mutation, including how to obtain it and its effects in Grow a Garden.
Everything About Aurora Mutation in Grow a Garden
The Aurora Mutation can only be obtained during the Aurora Borealis weather event, an event that only admins can activate. When the event is active, the sky glows with aurora borealis vibes and a calming song.
Aurora Mutation offers a 90x value multiplier which means a crop with a standard value of $2 million can be sold for $180 million if the Aurora mutation is applied.
This is not something that occurs frequently, like rain or frost. Instead, it is a manually initiated process by the developers such as Jandel, especially during new updates (often on Saturday, 9-10 AM EST). Once it takes effect, crops randomly mutate and are given the Aurora effect.
To boost your odds, fill your garden with crops like Moon Mango or Candy Blossom, as more plants mean more chances for the mutation to hit. Star Callers, available in the Event Shop, can also draw meteors to specific crops, slightly increasing mutation odds, though they’re pricier during non-event times.
Join a busy server before the event starts, as the mutation won’t apply if you hop in mid-event. Check the Grow a Garden Discord or Reddit for event alerts—players often share when admins are active. Private servers are safer to avoid crop theft, letting you leave mutated plants unharvested to stack with other mutations like Wet or Shocked for even bigger payouts (potentially billions).
