Players can access the Glimmering mutation through various channels introduced in the latest weather event, as well as from specific pets and gear. Below are the most effective methods for obtaining this coveted mutation:
1. Participate in the Fairies Event
The Fairies weather event in Grow a Garden offers an opportunity to unlock the Glimmering mutation. This event occurs hourly and runs for just 10 minutes.
During this interval, butterflies will arrive in your garden, applying the Glimmering mutation to your crops. Utilizing a Fairy Targeter can enhance your chances of attracting more fairies, consequently increasing the likelihood of obtaining additional mutations for your plants.

2. Acquire a Glimmering Sprite Pet
You can also obtain the Glimmering mutation by utilizing a Glimmering Sprite pet, which can be acquired from the newly released Enchanted eggs. This pet has a chance to apply the Glimmering mutation to any plant or fruit within its influence every 12 minutes.
3. Seek out Roaming Fairies
While Roaming Fairies are part of the weather event, they can appear unexpectedly in the lobby at various times. Approaching them will prompt an interaction, allowing you to lure them to your garden where they can apply the Glimmering mutation to a random crop.

4. Utilize Glimmering Mutation Spray
While completing Wishing Well quests, you can earn a Glimmering Mutation Spray as a reward. Alternatively, craft it at the crafting table located near the gear station in Grow a Garden.
To craft the spray, you’ll need 1x Cleaning Spray, 1x Daffodil Seed, 1x Orange Tulip Seed, 1 Mango, and 1M Sheckles. Applying the spray to a selected crop instantly grants the Glimmering mutation.
5. Collect Glimmering Pet Mutation
Another way to secure the Glimmering mutation is by earning a Glimmering Pet Shard from Wishing Well rewards. This shard can be used on any pet you currently have in your garden, enabling that pet to apply the Glimmering mutation to random plants.
Top Tips for Acquiring the Glimmering Mutation in Grow a Garden
To maximize your chances of acquiring the Glimmering mutation on your plants, it’s advisable to be strategic about your approach as the Fairies event unfolds. Here are valuable tips to help you succeed:
- Upgrade Fairy Levels: Enhancing your chances of obtaining the Glimmering mutation involves upgrading your Fairy Godmother. These upgrades can extend the duration of the Fairies event while allowing you to increase fairy spawns or introduce additional roaming fairies, all of which collectively raise the likelihood of receiving more Glimmering mutations.
- Employ Fairy-Themed Gears: Utilize various gears acquired from the Wishing Well that facilitate the gaining of the Glimmering mutation. Make sure to deploy the Mutation Spray Glimmering and the Glimmering Pet Shard to increase your odds of obtaining more mutations. Moreover, positioning multiple Fairy Targeters in your garden enhances your chances of attracting fairies during the event.
Is the Glimmering Mutation Worth Your Efforts?
While the Glimmering mutation may not be the most financially rewarding option in Grow a Garden, its value shines during the Fairy Event. Completing tasks related to the Wishing Well and earning Fairy Points hinges on successfully cultivating Glimmering crops, alongside unlocking exclusive rewards. Without these crops, advancing through the reward tiers becomes a challenge.
The good news is that players have several dependable avenues to obtain this mutation, whether through the weather event fairies, pets, or sprays. Although farming requires a time investment, enhancing fairy levels at the Fairy Godmother and utilizing fairy-themed gear can streamline the process. While the mutation doesn’t significantly elevate garden revenues like other variations, its utility during the event renders it highly significant.
If you aspire to claim all Fairy Event rewards, pursuing the Glimmering mutation is undoubtedly worthwhile. How do you plan to obtain this new mutation? We welcome your thoughts in the comments below.
