Here’s the complete guide to Garden Horizons mutations and their multipliers, along with a weather guide. Find out which mutation offers the highest multiplier rate to massively increase your in-game income.

Garden Horizons Mutations & Multiplier and Traits

Mutations and traits are the main way to increase fruit value in Garden Horizons. Mutations change appearance and add a value bonus, while traits represent growth stages. If you want to farm Shillings efficiently, you need to understand how both systems stack.

Most mutations are tied to weather events, which rotate every time the Seed Shop restocks (every 5 minutes). Each plant rolls its own mutation chance, so filling your garden does not increase odds per plant; it only increases total rolls.

All Mutations & Multipliers

Weather-Based Mutations

Soaked
- Multiplier: 1.2x value
- How to Get: Applied during rainy weather
Foggy
- Multiplier: 1.2x value
- How to Get: Applied during foggy weather
Chilled
- Multiplier: 1.5x value
- How to Get: Applied during snowy weather
Flooded
- Multiplier: 1.75x value
- How to Get: Applied during rainy weather
Silver
- Multiplier: 2.0x value
- How to Get: Applied randomly to fruits (no event required)
Snowy
- Multiplier: 2.0x value
- How to Get: Applied during snowy weather
Sandy
- Multiplier: 2.5x value
- How to Get: Applied during Sandstorm weather
Frostbit
- Multiplier: 3.5x value
- How to Get: Applied during snowy weather
Mossy
- Multiplier: 3.5x value
- How to Get: Fruit must have Foggy + Chilled, then transform into Mossy
Shocked
- Multiplier: 4.5x value
- How to Get: Applied during storm weather
Muddy
- Multiplier: 5.0x value
- How to Get: Fruit must have Sandy + Flooded or Sandy + Soaked, then transform into Muddy
Gold
- Multiplier: 5.0x value
- How to Get: Applied randomly to fruits (no event required)
Starstruck
- Multiplier: 6.5x value
- How to Get: Applied during Starfall weather

Growth Traits

Traits are separate from mutations and apply automatically as fruit grows.

Unripe
- Multiplier: Up to 1.9x value
- How to Get: Applied during early growth stages
Ripened
- Multiplier: Up to 2.9x value
- How to Get: Applied during mid growth stages
Lush
- Multiplier: 3.0x value
- How to Get: Applied when the fruit is fully grown

Traits only progress while you are in-game. Faster-growing plants reach Lush faster. You can harvest at any stage, but waiting for Lush gives maximum profit.

How Do Multipliers Stack Work in Garden Horizons?

Mutations stack additively
Trait multiplier applies multiplicatively
- Example:
  - Lush (3.0×)
  - Starstruck (6.5×)
  - Muddy (5.0×)
- Formula:
  - 3.0 × (6.5 + 5.0) × Base Price
  - If a carrot has a base price of 30, then 3.0 × 11.5 × 30 = 1,035 shillings.

That is why stacking high mutations with Lush is the best strategy.

Garden Horizons Weather Types & Duration

Weather changes every Seed Shop refresh.

Foggy
- Appearance: Thick fog covers the entire map.
- Effects: Chance to apply Foggy mutation (1.2×) to random fruits.
Rain
- Appearance: Dark clouds form, rain falls, music stops, and the rain sound plays.
- Effects:
  - +25% Growth Speed
  - Chance to apply Flooded (1.75×) and Soaked (1.2×) mutations
Storm
- Appearance: Heavy rain with thunder sounds.
- Effects:
  - +50% Growth Speed
  - Chance to apply Shocked mutation (4.5×)
Snow
- Appearance: Light fog with snowflakes falling.
- Effects:
  - Chance to apply Snowy (2.0×) and Chilled (1.5×) mutations
Sandstorm
- Appearance: A sandstorm takes over the map.
- Effects:
  - +20% Growth Speed
  - Chance to apply Sandy mutation (2.5×)
Starfall
- Appearance: Blue sky with shooting stars falling.
- Effects:
  - Chance to apply Starstruck mutation (6.5×)

Freeze – 4 min

Aurora – 5 min

Rain – 4 min

Drizzle – 2 min

Tornado – 6 min

Thunderstorm – 5 min

Snow (Christmas Event) – 3 min

Heat Wave – 4 min

Fog – 3 min

Haze – 3 min

Chill – 4 min

Mud – 2 min

Mint – 2 min

Some weathers also affect growth speed:

Rain = +50% growth

Drizzle = +20% growth

Freeze = Only 10% growth

Tornado = Applies Tornadonized mutation

Thunderstorm = Applies Shocked mutation

Snow = Applies Snowy or rare Freezy mutation

Heat Wave = Applies Dried mutation

Mint = Applies Minty mutation

Garden Horizons – Best Mutations to Target

For pure profit:

Starstruck (6.5×)
Gold (5.0×)
Muddy (5.0×)
Shocked (4.5×)

Always wait for Lush (3×) before harvesting if possible.

If you want maximum shillings, plant during high-value weather events and stack multiple mutations before harvesting.
