If you’re all about bragging rights in Grow a Garden, the Zombified mutation is your next flex. Introduced in the Blood Moon update (which, let’s be real, sounds metal), these mutant crops gives your fruit a creepy neon green glow—and an insane resale value.
The developers are clearly leaning into the Chicken Jockey trend with this one, letting a zombified bird do all the heavy lifting. If you’re stacking Sheckles or just want to show off, you’ll definitely want to get your hands on this mutation!
How To Get Zombified Mutation In Grow a Garden
To get the Zombified mutation, you’ll need the Chicken Zombie pet in Grow A Garden—it’s the only way to trigger it. Once you hatch and equip this pet, place it on your farm plot by left-clicking an open area. And that’s all! The pet’s passive ability will handle the rest.
Roughly every 30 minutes, there’s a ~20% chance it will turn a random fruit into its zombified form. The longer you keep the Chicken Zombie active and well-fed, the more XP it gains, which improves its efficiency over time. Just make sure it doesn’t go hungry!

What Does The Zombified Mutation Do In Grow a Garden?
Zombie fruit doesn’t just look cool. Any crop with the Zombified mutation in Grow A Garden will sell for 25x the normal price, making it rain a ton of cash in the game. For example, if a a regular Candy Blossom sells for 90k, a zombified one will net you 2.2 million.
That kind of value stacks fast, especially if with other multipliers like Plasma or Frozen mutations. While it doesn’t boost growth rate or crafting, the raw profit potential makes it a mutation worth chasing. Besides, the glowing green look is enough to flex on your garden buddies!
That’s everything you need to know to go full undead farmer in Grow a Garden. Got the Chicken Zombie? Then it’s just a matter of time before you start raking in those Zombified profits.
