Prickly Pear

The Prickly Pear sits at Mythical rarity, which is the tier just below Divine and well above the everyday Common-through-Legendary crops most players cycle through. In Grow a Garden, rarity is the single biggest lever on base sell value before mutations enter the picture, so a Mythical crop is worth growing precisely because its untouched harvest already returns far more than a Rare or Legendary of comparable size. That higher floor is what justifies any seed premium attached to it.

Because this row does not list a fixed seed cost, sell price or growth time, treat it as a crop whose worth is dominated by rarity scaling rather than turnover speed. The practical rule for Mythicals is patience: a slower-maturing high-rarity plant almost always out-earns a fast Common over the same plot-time once you apply multipliers. Stack Gold or Rainbow first, since those multiply the already-large Mythical base, then layer environmental mutations as they trigger.

Grow Prickly Pear in the mid-to-late game, when you have the Sheckles to afford Mythical seeds and the mutation tools to push a single harvest into genuinely high-value territory.
