Crop

This entry is the generic term "Crop" itself, not an individual plant: it carries no rarity, no seed cost, no sell price, no growth time, and no image, because it describes the whole category every plantable in Grow a Garden belongs to. So instead of single-plant math, the useful read here is how to think about crop economics as a system.

Every crop's profit comes down to three levers. Seed cost is your outlay, sell price is your return, and growth time sets how fast that return repeats — and the smartest buys maximize sell value per minute of growth, not just the biggest sticker price. A cheap, fast-cycling common can out-earn a pricey rarity if you actively replant and sell, while a slow premium crop only wins when you let mutations stack on its higher base.

The second lever is harvest type: multi-harvest crops amortize their seed cost across many pickings, so they usually beat single-harvest plants of equal rarity over a long session. Match the choice to your playstyle: active players profit from fast commons, while idle or session-based players favor multi-harvest plants and high-value mutations that pay off when they return.
