Quick answer: The most profitable seeds in Garden Horizons are the Dawnblossom, Olive, and Cherry, which provide high recurring income without requiring replanting. For single-harvest cash injections, the Cabbage offers the highest base sell value.
In Garden Horizons, your primary goal is to generate wealth by planting, growing, and selling crops. While beginners start with basic vegetables like corn and carrots, scaling your garden requires investing in seeds that offer higher returns per harvest or continuous yields. High-tier seeds often require significant upfront investment or luck with seed packs, but they drastically reduce the time needed to farm Shillings.
This tier list ranks every seed based on its base sell value, harvest type (single vs. multi), and general efficiency for money-making.
S-Tier Seeds
These plants are the best earners in the game. They typically feature high base sell values and multi-harvest capabilities, meaning they continue to produce fruit after the first harvest without needing to be replanted. This makes them ideal for passive income layouts.
| Seed | Harvest Type | Base Sell Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dawnblossom | Multi | $12,000 | Highest recurring value. Obtained via the Dawn Seed Pack (approx. 1.5% drop rate). |
| Olive | Multi | $10,000 | Extremely high consistent income. Rare drop from the Gardener Seed Pack. |
| Cherry | Multi | $8,000 | Expensive to purchase initially ($1M) but pays off with high volume over time. |
A-Tier Seeds
A-Tier crops are excellent for mid-to-late game players. This tier includes the Cabbage, which has a massive single-payout but requires constant replanting, making it labor-intensive compared to S-Tier options. Other plants here provide solid multi-harvest income at a lower entry cost than the top tier.
| Seed | Harvest Type | Base Sell Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabbage | Single | $60,000 | The highest single-harvest payout in the game. Requires purchasing ($150k) and replanting after every harvest. |
| Emberwood | Multi | $2,200 | Strong mid-game earner. Drops from Dawn Seed Pack. |
| Orange | Multi | $1,800 | Reliable continuous income. Obtained from Gardener Seed Pack. |
| Potato | Multi | $1,500 | Good for bulk production layouts. Purchase cost is $100k. |
| Plum | Multi | $1,000 | A solid Epic-tier crop. Purchase cost is $60k. |
B-Tier Seeds
These seeds bridge the gap between beginner gardening and high-yield farming. They are accessible enough for players with moderate funds and offer decent returns. The Dawnfruit is particularly useful for new players as it can often be obtained freely via codes.
- Wheat: Single Harvest ($7,200). A strong Epic crop for quick cash if you don't mind replanting.
- Beetroot: Single Harvest (~$3,750). Scales well with mutations but requires replanting.
- Banana: Multi Harvest ($750). A reliable staple for consistent, low-maintenance income.
- Dawnfruit: Multi Harvest ($600). Often accessible early through promotional codes; distinct from the high-tier Dawnblossom.
C-Tier Seeds
C-Tier plants serve as stepping stones. They are generally low-cost and widely available in Bill's Shop or common seed packs. While they won't make you rich quickly, they generate the initial capital needed to buy A-tier and S-tier seeds.
- Birch: Single Harvest ($500).
- Amberpine: Single Harvest ($400).
- Rose: Multi Harvest ($320). Good for decoration and steady small income.
- Apple: Multi Harvest ($270). A standard starter tree.
- Goldenberry: Multi Harvest ($65).
- Tomato: Multi Harvest ($60).
- Bellpepper: Multi Harvest ($50). Fast growth rate.
D-Tier Seeds
These are the absolute starter crops. You will likely plant these only during your first few hours of gameplay or for specific quests. They offer minimal profit and are quickly outclassed by almost anything else.
- Onion: Single Harvest ($220).
- Sunpetal: Single Harvest ($60).
- Dandelion: Single Harvest ($45).
- Mushroom: Multi Harvest ($40). Grows quickly but yields little.
- Strawberry: Multi Harvest ($32).
- Carrot: Single Harvest ($30).
- Corn: Multi Harvest ($15). The lowest earnings, generally used only to grasp the game mechanics.
Acquiring Seeds
You obtain seeds primarily through three methods:
- Bill’s Seed Shop: Located in the town center. Bill sells a rotating stock of seeds for Shillings. High-rarity seeds like Cabbage or Cherry appear here but cost significant amounts of in-game currency.
- Seed Packs: You can purchase packs like the Gardener Seed Pack or Dawn Seed Pack using Robux or currency. These packs rely on RNG to drop exclusive seeds like the Olive, Orange, or Dawnblossom.
- Codes: Developers occasionally release redemption codes that grant specific seeds (like the Dawnfruit) or currency to buy them.
