How to Get Elephant Ears in Grow a Garden? (July 2025) 80K Seed

If you're grinding for the ultimate prize in Roblox Grow a Garden, I've got the inside scoop on getting those elusive Elephant Ears seeds. This Prismatic-tier plant isn't just a trophy piece—it's a money-making machine that sells for an average of 80,000 Sheckles per harvest. Yeah, you read that right!

I've spent countless hours participating in Summer Harvest events and testing different strategies to maximize my chances. In this guide, I'll share everything I've learned about obtaining, growing, and profiting from Elephant Ears in 2025.

What Are Elephant Ears in Grow a Garden?

Rarity and Appearance

Elephant Ears hold the prestigious Prismatic rarity, making them one of the rarest plants in the entire game. When you finally get one growing in your garden, you'll instantly recognize their unique grey, studded appearance that actually resembles real elephant ears—hence the name!

What makes these plants extra special is their multi-harvest feature. Unlike single-harvest flowers that disappear after one collection, Elephant Ears keep producing crops over and over. This means one seed can generate millions of Sheckles throughout its lifetime.

Value and Profitability

Let me put this in perspective: while most crops sell for a few hundred or thousand Sheckles, Elephant Ears average 80,000 Sheckles per harvest. That's without any mutations or bonuses! With the right weather events and mutations, I've seen these bad boys sell for well over 100,000 Sheckles.

Currently, Elephant Ears boast the highest base price in the game, even surpassing the legendary Sunflower. The only crop that historically competed was Candy Blossom, but since that's no longer obtainable, Elephant Ears reign supreme as the ultimate money-maker.

How to Get Elephant Ears Seeds in Grow a Garden?

Method 1: Free Summer Seed Packs

The most budget-friendly way to get Elephant Ears is through the Summer Harvest Event. Here's what you need to know:

• Drop Rate: A crushing 0.5% chance per pack
• Cost: Completely free (just time investment)
• Strategy: Participate in as many hourly events as possible

During my grind, I typically open 20-30 Summer Seed Packs daily by maximizing event participation. Yes, the drop rate is brutal, but persistence pays off. I recommend teaming up with friends or joining active servers where everyone contributes to reach Prismatic tier rewards.

Method 2: Premium Summer Seed Packs

If you're willing to spend Robux, here's the breakdown:

• Individual Pack: 199 Robux each (0.5% drop rate)
• 10-Pack Bundle: 1,699 Robux (7% drop rate)
• Best Value: Always buy the bundle if spending money

The math is simple: buying 10 individual packs gives you roughly a 5% cumulative chance, but the bundle jumps that to 7%. That 2% difference might seem small, but when hunting ultra-rare seeds, every percentage point matters.

Complete Summer Harvest Event Guide

Event Basics

The Summer Harvest Event is your ticket to free Summer Seed Packs. Here's the essential info:

• Schedule: Starts at the beginning of every hour
• Duration: 10 minutes of frantic fruit-submitting action
• Location: Center of the map at the harvest cart
• NPC: Georgia stands beside the cart

I always set a timer on my phone to catch these events. Missing even one feels like a wasted opportunity when you're hunting for Elephant Ears!

How to Participate Step-by-Step

1. Stock up on summer seeds from Tom's shop (refreshes every 5 minutes)
2. Plant your seeds immediately—every summer crop counts
3. Watch the timer above the harvest cart
4. When the event starts, hold your harvested summer crops
5. Press E (or tap on mobile) to submit fruits to the cart
6. Keep submitting until the event ends or you run out of crops

Pro tip: I always keep at least 20-30 summer fruits ready before each event. This ensures I can contribute meaningfully and help the server reach higher reward tiers.

Point System Breakdown

Understanding the point system is crucial for maximizing rewards:

• Common crops: 1 point each
• Uncommon crops: 2 points each
• Rare crops: 3 points each
• Divine crops: 4 points each
• Prismatic crops: 5 points each

The entire server works together to accumulate points. Even if you only submit one fruit, you'll receive rewards based on the server's total contribution. However, you must submit at least one fruit to be eligible for any rewards.

Reward Tiers and Prizes

Here's what you're working toward:

• Common Tier (10-30 points): Basic rewards, low seed pack chance
• Uncommon Tier (40-60 points): Better odds, possible gear drops
• Rare Tier (70-90 points): Good seed pack chances, rare items
• Divine Tier (100-119 points): High seed pack probability, exclusive items
• Prismatic Tier (120+ points): Maximum rewards, best drop rates

In my experience, active servers consistently hit Divine or Prismatic tiers. The 50% drop rate for Summer Seed Packskicks in at Uncommon tier, but you want those higher tiers for multiple pack rewards.

Growing Tips for Elephant Ears

Managing Long Growth Times

Here's the reality: Elephant Ears take significantly longer to grow than other plants. Even with optimal gear, you're looking at extended wait times. Here's how I speed things up:

• Godly Sprinkler: Essential for any serious farmer
• Growth Pets: Stack multiple pets with growth bonuses
• Watering Can: Manual watering between sprinkler cycles
• Weather Events: Rain provides substantial growth boosts

I've found that combining all these methods can reduce growth time by up to 40%. It's still slow, but every bit helps when you're dealing with such a valuable crop.

Maximizing Your Profits

Once your Elephant Ears start producing, here's how to maximize returns:

Mutation Stacking: This is where the real money lies. My favorite combinations:

• Wet (2x) + Frozen (10x) = 20x multiplier
• Gold (20x) alone is incredible if you're lucky
• Shocked (100x) during thunderstorms is the holy grail

Optimal Timing: I always try to have mature Elephant Ears ready for weather events. Setting alarms for thunderstorms might seem excessive, but when you can turn 80k into 8 million with a Shocked mutation, it's worth it.

Garden Layout: Place Elephant Ears in easily accessible spots. You want to harvest quickly during weather events to maximize mutation chances across multiple harvests.

Is Elephant Ears Worth the Investment?

Pros

Let me be clear about why I chase these seeds:

• Unmatched profitability: No other multi-harvest crop comes close
• Long-term value: One seed can generate tens of millions over time
• Trading power: Elephant Ears seeds are highly sought after
• Prestige factor: It's a flex having these in your garden
• Collection value: Essential for any serious player's seed collection

Cons

However, I need to be honest about the downsides:

• Brutal RNG: You might open 200 packs without seeing one
• Time investment: Both obtaining and growing take forever
• Opportunity cost: Money spent on packs could buy guaranteed profits
• Growth anxiety: Watching these slowly grow is nerve-wracking
• Theft risk: Players will definitely try to steal these

Alternative Summer Seeds to Consider

While hunting for Elephant Ears, don't overlook these profitable alternatives:

Rosy Delight (Divine rarity):

• Multi-harvest with beautiful giant flowers
• More common than Elephant Ears but still valuable
• Great middle-ground option for profit and aesthetics

Cantaloupe (Rare/Divine):

• Solid single-harvest option for beginners
• Relatively common in seed packs
• Good for mutation stacking during events

Wild Carrot (Common):

• Don't underestimate this humble crop
• High drop rate means consistent farming
• Perfect for event participation

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get Elephant Ears without spending money?

I recommend dedicating yourself to Summer Harvest Events. Join active servers, participate every hour you're online, and be patient. Set up a routine where you're growing summer crops constantly to always have fruits ready for submission.

How long do Elephant Ears actually take to grow?

From my testing, expect at least 20-30% longer growth time compared to similar-tier crops. With no growth bonuses, you're looking at several hours. With optimal gear and pets, I've gotten it down to around 2-3 hours, but it varies.

Can I trade for Elephant Ears seeds?

Yes! If you have valuable items or seeds from previous events (like Candy Blossom), you might find players willing to trade. Join trading communities and Discord servers to find potential deals.

What mutations work best with Elephant Ears?

Shocked (100x) is the ultimate goal, but it's rare. More realistically, I aim for Gold (20x) or stacked mutations like Wet + Frozen. Even basic mutations like Wet (2x) or Chilled (2x) significantly boost profits on an 80k base value.

Is buying the Premium 10-pack bundle worth it?

If you're spending Robux anyway, absolutely yes. The 7% drop rate versus 0.5% is a massive difference. However, remember there's no guarantee—I've seen players buy multiple bundles without success. Only spend what you're comfortable potentially losing.

Final Tips and Conclusion

After grinding for Elephant Ears since the Summer update launched, here's my best advice:

Be strategic: Don't just blindly open packs. Plan your approach, whether that's saving for bundle purchases or maximizing event participation.

Join communities: The official Grow a Garden Roblox page has an active community. Discord servers share tips, coordinate events, and sometimes offer trades.

Stay persistent: RNG can be cruel. I've gone weeks without seeing an Elephant Ears drop, then gotten two in one day. It's all about long-term commitment.

Enjoy the journey: While Elephant Ears are the goal, you'll accumulate tons of other valuable seeds along the way. Every Summer Seed Pack could contain your next fortune.

Remember, Grow a Garden is constantly evolving. What works in 2025 might change with future updates. Stay connected with the community, check the Grow a Garden Wiki for updates, and most importantly—have fun growing your dream garden!

Happy farming, and may the RNG gods bless your seed packs!
