Grow a Garden: Best Plants Tier List (Updated)

Let’s be honest, not all plants in Grow a Garden are worth your time. Some are straight-up money printers, while others are just coin sinks disguised as “content.” And with the Beanstalk Event update dropping brand-new crops into the mix, the farming meta has shifted again. That’s why I put together this updated tier list, so you’ll know exactly which plants to focus on for money, trading, and farming efficiency after the event.

Best Plants Tier List (Beanstalk Update)

Since the latest Beanstalk Update, the seed meta in Grow a Garden has drastically shifted. Many previously top-tier seeds like Candy Blossom and Guanabana have been outclassed by newer, glitch-boosted plants like Hornshroom and Bone Blossom.

This tier list ranks every major plant in the game based on:

• 💰 Profit Potential (coins per yield, multi-harvest, overall ROI)
• 🔁 Reusability (multi-harvest vs one-time crops)
• ⚡ Glitch Synergy (Trik-Cat stacking, Sprinkle method, etc.)
• 📈 Trade Value (how much other players want it)
• 🎮 Personal Experience + Community Insight

Whether you’re farming to afford Ascended pets or just want to stop wasting coins on trash seeds, this guide will help you prioritize what to grow.

What Are the Best Plants in Grow a Garden Right Now?

If you want the best bang for your time and coins, focus on:

• Bone Blossom
• Candy Blossom
• Golden Egg (NEW)
• Moonmelon
• Nectthorn
• Elder Strawberry
• Taco Fern (NEW)
• Grand Tomato (NEW)

Avoid Corn, Daffodil, Apple, and most old event crops — they’re not worth the grind.

S-Tier: Most Overpowered Plants

These are the best of the best. When used with pet glitches, sprinkle stacking, or duping setups, they can generate millions in coins. If you get your hands on these, protect them at all costs.

• Bone Blossom – High value per harvest, extremely profitable long-term.
• Candy Blossom – One of the most consistent moneymakers in the game, always in demand.
• Golden Egg (NEW) – Event-exclusive tied to the Golden Goose; crazy expensive and instantly top-tier.
• Elder Strawberry – Solid earner, a must-grow for steady income.

Some people still deny Bone Blossom > Candy Blossom. But they’re just coping.

A-Tier: Top Picks Without Glitches

These plants are profitable without needing exploits. Great ROI and trade demand.

• Nectthorn – High-value crop, profitable and reliable once optimized.
• Taco Fern (NEW) – Multi-harvest crop with excellent returns, efficient for farming.
• Grand Tomato (NEW) – Surprisingly profitable and consistent; one of the best new additions.
• Romanesco (NEW) – High-value harvest, but limited to one per harvest cycle. Still great but not quite S.
• Maple Apple – Still really solid and profitable.

Sunflower + Trik-Cat is underrated. It’s cracked for passive income.

B-Tier: Reliable, Repeatable, and Tradeable

These seeds bring solid value, especially when paired with passives or sold in bulk.

• Moonmelon – Great thanks to the Moonmelon method, though not as broken as it used to be.
• Highfruit – Reliable mid-tier crop, decent profits.
• Giant Pinecone – Steady money-maker, a dependable choice.
• Tall Asparagus – Consistent profits and underrated overall.

If you can farm multiple of these at once, you’re making good progress.

C-Tier: Middle-of-the-Road Moneymakers

These are solid options if you’re not using glitches or pet exploits. They make steady coin and are easy to grow.

• Aloe Vera (Unobtainable, ~62k) – Decent value but irrelevant now since you can’t get it anymore.
• Burning Bud – Looks nice and performs okay, but overshadowed by better crops.
• Pepper – Low-value crop; barely worth growing unless you’re filling space.
• Sunflower – Decent one-time harvest, mostly useful early game.
• Sugar Glaze (NEW, ~70k) – Worth something, but limited by being a single harvest each time.

Personally, I relied on Dragonfruit and Cacao early on before upgrading.

D-Tier: Just Okay if You’re Desperate

These aren’t the worst, but they won’t take you very far. Decent for early farming or idle players.

• Beanstalk (NEW) – Fun concept but terrible profits; more of a novelty plant.
• Football Plant – Weak earnings, easily outclassed by even mid-tier crops.

Budget-friendly, but don’t expect miracles.

E-Tier: Cute but Broke

These are beginner traps. They look nice, some were decent in past events, but now they barely sell for anything.

• Bamboo – Slightly better than Apple, but still low-profit and not worth planting.

If it feels “early game,” it probably is.

F-Tier: Worst Plants to Grow

These plants either cost more to grow than you earn, or are locked behind overpriced Robux. Avoid them unless you’re doing a challenge run.

• Apple – Garbage-tier; overshadowed by everything else.
• Corn – Actively loses you money, one of the worst crops in the game.
• Daffodil – Purely decorative, offers no real value at all.

Tip: If it’s seasonal and doesn’t stack, it’s probably bad.

Wrap-Up: What Should You Grow?

The Beanstalk Event update gave us a mix of bangers and stinkers. Golden Egg, Taco Fern, Romanesco, and Grand Tomato added fresh money-makers to the garden, while filler plants like Mandrake are more for collection than profit.

If you’re trying to farm coins fast or trade smart, stick to the S and A tiers. Everything else? Either mid or straight-up trash.
