Roblox Grow a Garden Seed Stages Update Guide (February 2026) All Details
The Seed Stages Event in Grow a Garden has revolutionized farming by introducing Evo Plants – crops that evolve through multiple tiers for massive rewards! Running from September 27 through October 11, 2025, this limited-time event features a brand new evolution system that transforms how you grow and harvest crops.
From beginner-friendly Evo Pumpkins to exclusive Jungle Eggs, I’ll show you everything you need to dominate this game-changing event.
What is the Grow a Garden Seed Stages Event?
The Seed Stages Event is a limited-time event that premiered in Update 1.25.0, introducing a revolutionary seed evolving feature where certain seeds can evolve through multiple tiers. Evo Plants are the main feature of this event and are different than regular crops, featuring three extra stats: Plant Health, Growth Rate, and Size Multiplier.
Unlike traditional crops that grow once and get harvested, Evo Plants require continuous care and feeding to progress through four distinct evolution stages, each offering increasingly valuable rewards.
Key Event Details:
- Start Date: September 27, 2025 at 7:00 AM PT (14:00 UTC)
- End Date: October 11, 2025
- Duration: 2 weeks
- Event Location: Center of the map (replaces Fall Market area)
- Main NPC: Elijah (Seed Stages Merchant)
Evo Plants vs Regular Crops: What’s Different?
Evo Plant Mechanics Overview
| Feature | Regular Crops | Evo Plants |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Stages | Single harvest | 4 evolution stages |
| Special Stats | None | Plant Health, Growth Rate, Size Multiplier |
| Care Required | Plant and wait | Feed fruit + use gardening tools |
| Rewards | Sale value only | Stage rewards + final crop value |
| Evolution | None | Progressive upgrades through NPCs |
Evo Plants have three extra stats which are the Plant Health, Growth Rate and Size Multiplier. These plants will be able to evolve and need to be feed fruit as well.
The Three Critical Evo Stats Explained
Plant Health: Determines your crop’s overall wellbeing and directly affects growth rate. Healthier plants grow faster and produce better yields. Keep plants healthy by feeding them fruit regularly.
Growth Rate: Controls how quickly your Evo Plant matures. The higher the grow rate, the faster it grows. Keep your plant healthy, to keep the grow rate high.
Size Multiplier: Affects the final size and value of your evolved crop. Use Gardening related gears like the watering can to increase its size.
All 4 Evo Plant Seeds Available
There are four Evo plant seeds in Grow a Garden. You can purchase them using Sheckles from the Seed Stages NPC, Elijah. The seeds go out of stock once you buy them. You’ll have to wait for the next restock to purchase the Evo seeds again.
Complete Evo Seeds Price Table
| Seed Name | Price (Sheckles) | Plant Type | Evolution Stages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evo Pumpkin I | 10,000 | Fruit | 4 stages (I-IV) |
| Evo Mushroom I | 10,000 | Fungus | 4 stages (I-IV) |
| Evo Beetroot I | 10,000 | Vegetable | 4 stages (I-IV) |
| Evo Blueberry I | 10,000 | Berry | 4 stages (I-IV) |
Pro Tip: All Evo seeds start at Stage 1 and must be evolved through player interaction with the Seed Stage Merchant (Elijah). You cannot buy higher-stage seeds directly!

How to Evolve Evo Plants
Simply plant the Evo seeds and grow them first. Once an Evo plant is ready, harvest and bring it to the Seed Stage Merchant in the center of the play area.

- Plant and Nurture: Place seed in your garden and care for it properly
- Feed with Fruit: Regularly feed your Evo Plant fruits to maintain health
- Use Gardening Tools: Apply watering cans and sprinklers to boost size
- Harvest When Ready: Collect the mature Evo Plant
- Visit Elijah: Take harvested plant to the Seed Stage Merchant

2026 Pro Tips for Event Success
Pre-Event Preparation
Stock Up on Fruits: Build a massive fruit inventory before the event starts. You’ll need hundreds of fruits for optimal Evo Plant care.
Upgrade Your Tools: Invest in advanced sprinklers and watering cans. The Grandmaster Sprinkler is particularly valuable for this event.
Save Sheckles: Budget at least 100,000+ Sheckles for multiple Evo seed purchases and repeated evolution attempts.
Join the Community: Connect with other players on Discord for real-time tips and strategies.
During the Event
Start Early: Remember, there are more than 15 million players who will join Grow a Garden during the update. This means the Roblox server status can go down for new players. To stay clear of that, join the game early.
Diversify Your Evolution: Don’t focus on just one Evo seed type. Spread your efforts across all four varieties for maximum reward potential.
Monitor Restocks: The seeds go out of stock once you buy them. You’ll have to wait for the next restock to purchase the Evo seeds again.
Track Progress: Keep notes on which stages you’ve completed for each plant type to optimize your grinding strategy.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Neglecting Plant Health: Starving your Evo Plants significantly reduces evolution success rates and growth speed.
Using Wrong Tools: Basic sprinklers won’t cut it for higher stages. Invest in premium equipment.
Impatient Evolution: Rushing to evolve unhealthy plants often results in lower-quality rewards.
Ignoring Size Multiplier: This stat directly affects final crop value – don’t overlook it!
Poor Fruit Management: Running out of fruit mid-evolution can ruin hours of progress.
Event Timeline and Admin Abuse
Pre-Event Admin Abuse

- Potential free rewards and codes
- Increased activity from generous admins
Post-Event Considerations
Since this is a limited-time event, plan for:
- Evolved seeds likely becoming tradeable at premium values
- Jungle Egg pets increasing in rarity over time
- Potential future evolution mechanics in other updates
- Collection value for completed Evo Plant sets
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to evolve one plant through all stages?
The complete evolution process (Stage I to Stage IV) typically takes 2-4 hours of active play, depending on your feeding frequency and tool quality. Expert players with Grandmaster Sprinklers can complete the process in under 2 hours.
Can I evolve multiple plants simultaneously?
Yes! You can plant and nurture multiple Evo Plants at once. However, each plant requires individual attention and fruit feeding, so manage your resources carefully.
Do Evo Plants work with regular mutations?
Mutations may even carry over after evolution. Your Evo Plants can benefit from all standard mutations, potentially creating extremely valuable final products.
What happens if I miss feeding my Evo Plant?
Neglected Evo Plants experience reduced Plant Health, which directly impacts Growth Rate and evolution quality. While plants won’t die, poor care results in longer evolution times and potentially lower-tier rewards.
Can I sell Stage II or Stage III plants instead of evolving them?
Yes, you can sell partially evolved plants, but this is generally not recommended. The rewards from full evolution far exceed the sale value of intermediate stages.
Will this event return in the future?
The developers haven’t confirmed if the Seed Stages Event will return. Given its popularity and game-changing mechanics, similar evolution-based events are likely, but this specific version may be unique to March 2026.
How many times can I evolve each plant type?
There’s no limit to how many times you can purchase and evolve each Evo seed type, assuming you have sufficient Sheckles and the seeds are in stock.
Do pet abilities affect Evo Plant evolution?
Yes! Pets with farming-related abilities can boost Evo Plant growth rates, mutation chances, and overall health. The Pig’s mutation boost and the Owl’s growth enhancement are particularly valuable.
Can I use macros or automation for Evo Plant care?
While some players use farming macros, manual care often yields better results due to the complex timing requirements of fruit feeding and tool usage.
What’s the most valuable reward from the event?
The Grandmaster Sprinkler and Jungle Egg are considered the most valuable rewards, with the sprinkler offering long-term farming benefits and the egg providing exclusive pets impossible to obtain elsewhere.
