The Ember Lily is a Prismatic seed in Grow a Garden that costs 15,000,000 Sheckles in the Seed Shop and is locked behind Rebirth 2. It is one of the hardest seeds in the shop to see in stock at all: the shop’s own odds panel gives it a 0.08% chance per restock.
Quick answer: the Ember Lily seed costs 15,000,000 Sheckles in the Seed Shop, or 12,000,000 in the Daily Deals tab, and only one is stocked at a time. It needs Rebirth 2 before you can buy it, it grows in 5 hours 57 minutes, and it harvests more than one fruit per plant. If you want one cheaply, the Silver Prismatic Seed Pack is the realistic route at 19%.
Ember Lily price and where it is sold
| Where | Price | Stock | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seed Shop | 15,000,000 Sheckles | 1 per restock | Rebirth 2 required, 0.08% chance to stock |
| Daily Deals tab | 12,000,000 Sheckles | 1 | Only when it rolls into the day’s deals |
| Silver Prismatic Seed Pack | One pack | 19% of packs | Random pack reward |
| Admin Pack | One pack | 4.7% of packs | Random pack reward |
The Daily Deals tab is the same shop, one tab to the right, and it lists the same seed 3,000,000 Sheckles cheaper. It appears there on the same rare roll as the main tab, so it is a discount for the lucky rather than a shortcut.
The 0.08% problem
The Seed Shop restocks about every five minutes, and the Odds button at the top of the shop opens a Stock Odds panel with every seed’s chance of appearing in a restock. The Ember Lily sits near the bottom of that list at 0.08%, below Beanstack (0.09%) and above Sugar Apple (0.06%). For comparison, Carrot, Tomato and Strawberry each get 18.79%.
0.08% works out to roughly one Ember Lily in every 1,250 restocks. At a restock every five minutes that is about four days of staring at the stall for a single seed, and when it does appear there is one of it. This is the seed you buy the moment you see it, not the one you farm.
Rebirth 2 is a hard lock
Seventeen seeds in the shop ask for a Rebirth level, and the Ember Lily is one of the Rebirth 2 group, not the Rebirth 1 group. Below Rebirth 2 the shop will not sell it to you at all: the row can be in stock at 15,000,000 and still refuse the sale. Rebirth is permanent progress, so this is a one-time gate rather than something you maintain.
The rest of the Rebirth 2 seeds are Sugar Apple at 25,000,000, Burning Bud at 40,000,000, Giant Pinecone at 55,000,000 and Elder Strawberry at 70,000,000. All five are Prismatic, and the Ember Lily is the cheapest of them.
The other four Rebirth 2 seeds
The Ember Lily is the cheapest way into the Rebirth 2 tier, and four more seeds unlock at the same level. If you have already reached Rebirth 2, these are the ones sitting above it:
| Seed | Price | Traits |
|---|---|---|
| Ember Lily | 15,000,000 Sheckles | Flower, Spicy |
| Sugar Apple | 25,000,000 Sheckles | Apple, Fruit, Leafy, Summer, Sweet, Woody |
| Burning Bud | 40,000,000 Sheckles | Flower, Stalky |
| Giant Pinecone | 55,000,000 Sheckles | Leafy, Woody |
| Elder Strawberry | 70,000,000 Sheckles | Berry, Fruit |
All five are Prismatic and all five sit in the Seed Shop on the same rare restock roll, so the Ember Lily is not a budget version of the others, it is simply the one that asks the least for. Burning Bud is the next step up at 40,000,000, and it keeps the Ember Lily’s Flower trait while adding Stalky, so a garden of it does double duty on the turns when Archeologist Archie asks for either.
The realistic routes, best first
- The Silver Prismatic Seed Pack. It holds seven Prismatic seeds and the Ember Lily is the second most common of them at 19 out of 100, behind Beanstalk at 27 and ahead of Sugar Apple at 17. Nothing else comes close to 19% for the money.
- The Daily Deals tab at 12,000,000. The cheapest Sheckle price in the game for the seed, but it carries the same 0.08% roll.
- The Seed Shop at 15,000,000. The steady option: the row is always on the list, greyed out at NO STOCK, and the restock decides when you can buy.
- The Admin Pack. The Ember Lily is in it at a weight of 4.5 out of 95.65, which is 4.7% of packs.
- Seed Rain. The Ember Lily is in the seed rain drop table, but at one of the lowest weights on it, so treat a drop as a gift rather than a plan.
Growth time, harvest and traits
The Ember Lily takes 5 hours 57 minutes to reach full growth, and its harvest type is Multi, which means one plant yields more than one fruit per harvest instead of a single crop. For a seed at this price the Multi harvest is the point: you are buying a plant you harvest repeatedly, not a one-off crop.
Its two traits are Flower and Spicy. The Spicy trait is what makes the grown Lily useful outside the garden: the game’s cooking recipes list it among the “Meat” ingredients, in the same group as Pepper, Bell Pepper, Cactus, Eggplant, Venus Fly Trap, Bone Blossom, Glowshroom, Tall Asparagus and Taco Fern.
What an Ember Lily is used for
- Cooking. A grown Ember Lily goes into the meat slot of Burgers, Pizza, Hot Dogs, Spaghetti, Corndogs, Sushi and the Holiday Roast, so a garden of them keeps the food recipes that want a spicy meat stocked.
- The Grand Volcania recipe. Two Ember Lilies plus an Ancient Seed Pack and a Dinosaur Egg, 900,000 Sheckles and 45 minutes at the Seed Event workbench.
- The Spice Spritzer Sprinkler. One Ember Lily plus a Pepper, a Cacao and a Master Sprinkler, one hour at the Gear Event workbench.
Both of those recipes live on event workbenches, so they are worth checking for whenever a seasonal event brings its crafting machine back. Outside those events the Lily’s job is cooking and its trait value.
Ember Lily vs Honey Ember Lily
They are two different seeds and the shop’s two uses of the name trip people up. The Honey Ember Lily is a separate Prismatic seed bought with 355 HoneyCoins, the currency of the bee and hive event, and it is not the seed sold in the Seed Shop. If you are reading a price in HoneyCoins, you are looking at the honey one.
Ember Lily FAQ
Why is the Ember Lily always out of stock? Because its restock chance is 0.08%, the lowest band in the shop with a few other Prismatic seeds. The row is on the list every time; whether it is buyable is decided on the restock.
Can I buy it with Robux? With the row selected, the buttons under it read NO STOCK, a Robux purchase and Gift. The Robux button showed 315 while the Sheckle stock was empty on 14 November, so the Robux route does not wait for a restock the way the Sheckle one does.
Is the Ember Lily worth 15,000,000 Sheckles? For a Multi-harvest Prismatic plant with a 5 hour 57 minute grow time, yes, if you have the Rebirth 2 and the spare cash. If you do not, the Silver Prismatic Seed Pack at 19% is the same seed for a fraction of the price.
Do the cooking and crafting recipes take the seed or the grown plant? The grown plant. Both workbenches and the food recipes take harvested Ember Lilies, so a seed you plant is a seed you cannot cook with until it has grown. If you would rather chase a pet, the Mimic Octopus is the same kind of hunt: a 1% hatch out of a 50,000,000 Sheckle egg.
