Grow a Garden Infected mutation and Zombie Invasion weather event

Zombie Invasion Events and Mutations

The Infected mutation emerges exclusively during Grow a Garden’s Zombie Invasion weather occurrences. As farmlands become overrun by undead hordes under an eerie green sky, plants may develop this unique alteration.

Acquiring the Infected Mutation

Players must experience the Zombie Invasion event first. After exposure, inspect crops for mutation indicators in their descriptions. Successful mutations yield approximately 90x base crop value, though combined effects with other alterations may enhance profits significantly.

Note: This mutation differs from the Zombified alteration obtained through zombie chicken companions.



Zombie Invasion events currently occur primarily during developer-initiated update periods. Players in the UK may optimize their chances by playing one hour before scheduled updates (2pm BST). The event features Jandel monkey summoning rituals, aerial transportation sequences, and widespread fungal contamination across agricultural plots.

Strategic crop monitoring during these limited-time occurrences offers the best opportunity to obtain this valuable mutation.
