Gardening sits at the center of Heartopia’s economy and crafting loop. Crops feed into cooking, decorating, and making gold, and everything starts with one bottleneck: getting more seeds once the tutorial freebies run out.
Who sells seeds in Heartopia
All crop seeds come from a single NPC: Blanc. He is the gardening mentor who teaches the Gardening Hobby during the opening hours of the game, and he continues to act as the only seed vendor afterward.
When you speak to Blanc and open his shop, you can buy:
- Crop seeds
- Flower seeds
- Planters and Flower Beds
- Fertilizer and Growth Boosters
If a seed appears locked in his shop, the issue is not story progress but your Gardening Hobby level. Raising that Hobby level by planting, watering, and harvesting will gradually reveal more seed types in Blanc’s inventory.
How to track Blanc to buy seeds
Blanc moves around town during the day, so the most reliable way to reach him is by using the map tracking feature.
Step 1: Open the in-game map and scan for Blanc’s character icon. Icons show a small portrait and a short description when highlighted.
Step 2: Select Blanc’s icon, then choose the Track option. This sets him as your current target.
Step 3: Follow the visual markers that appear on your screen. A bubble indicates how far away Blanc is, while a trail of small stars points toward his direction.
Step 4: Once you reach Blanc, interact with him and open his shop menu. From here, you can purchase seeds and other gardening items as long as you have enough gold and the required Gardening level.
Blanc’s daily schedule and locations
Blanc follows a simple daily routine, splitting his time between home, the Garden Shop, and the Town Square. Times are in the in-game clock.
| Time | Location | What he’s doing |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00–8:00 | His home garden | Tending his personal garden plots |
| 8:00–12:00 | Garden Shop in town | Available behind the counter |
| 12:00–13:00 | Town Square | Out on a short midday break |
| 13:00–18:00 | Garden Shop in town | Back at the shop selling seeds and supplies |
| 18:00–20:00 | His home garden | Standing in his garden area |
Most of the day, the Garden Shop is the safest bet if you prefer a fixed location. When the shop feels empty, check the clock; if it’s around noon or early morning/evening, he may be en route or relaxing at home. Using map tracking bypasses any confusion if you do not want to memorize the schedule.
All crop seeds and required Gardening levels
Heartopia currently offers 13 crop seed types that you can plant on your farm and later use in cooking or selling. Each one unlocks at a specific Gardening Hobby level.
| Seed | Required Gardening level |
|---|---|
| Tomato | 1 |
| Potato | 1 |
| Wheat | 2 |
| Lettuce | 3 |
| Pineapple | 4 |
| Carrot | 5 |
| Strawberry | 6 |
| Corn | 6 |
| Grape | 7 |
| Eggplant | 8 |
| Tea Tree | 11 |
| Cacao Tree | 12 |
| Avocado | 13 |
Tomato and Potato seeds form the early game backbone, available from level 1. New staples such as Wheat, Lettuce, and Pineapple arrive as you progress through the low single-digit Gardening levels. By the time you reach the higher tiers, tree crops like Tea Tree, Cacao Tree, and Avocado open up more complex recipes and longer growth cycles.
How to unlock more seeds through Gardening
Progression for seeds is tied entirely to the Gardening Hobby, not to main story quests. The routine is straightforward but benefits from consistency.
Step 1: Use the seeds you already have to fill your available plots or planters. Focus on Tomato and Potato early on, since they unlock at level 1 and are cheap to re-buy from Blanc.
Step 2: Water your crops whenever they need it. Each growth cycle you complete contributes to your Gardening experience.
Step 3: Harvest crops as soon as they are ready. Harvesting is one of the key actions that move the Hobby bar forward.
Step 4: Reinvest part of the resulting produce into more seeds from Blanc. Sell a portion for gold to keep your seed budget healthy, and use the rest for cooking.
Maintaining this loop means every in-game day nudges your Gardening level higher, which in turn reveals new seeds in Blanc’s shop. There is no separate unlock requirement beyond reaching the stated level thresholds.
Once you get into the rhythm of tracking Blanc, stocking up on seeds, and cycling harvests back into your fields, Heartopia’s gardening stops feeling like a bottleneck and starts acting as a reliable engine for both gold and recipes. When in doubt, open the map, track Blanc, and let the stars on the screen lead you back to more seeds.
