The Buttercup Event just dropped in Grow a Garden, and it’s bringing new seeds, a new currency system, and a cute Pink Bunny pet that everyone’s going to want.
If you’ve been hoarding buttercup seeds “just in case,” congratulations — your patience paid off. If you haven’t… well, you might want to start farming them now.
Here’s everything you need to know about the event, including the quest system, rewards, and some tips to maximize your buttercup farming.
Quick Tip: If you have buttercup seeds sitting in your inventory, plant them immediately. The event quests require harvesting specific buttercup colors, and the sooner you start, the better.
What’s New in the Buttercup Event
This update introduces a familiar event format — if you remember the Carrot Coins event, you’ll know exactly how this works. Complete quests, earn event currency, spend it on exclusive rewards.
New additions:
- Buttercup Coins — New event currency earned through quests
- Beast Buttercup Seed — Limited transcendent seed (799 Robux or trade tokens)
- Pink Bunny Pet — New pet available from event chests
- Multiple Buttercup variants — Big, Bigger, Biggest, and Beast versions
The event hub has a new platform with an NPC named Brooklyn who handles all the quest tracking and the reward shop.
Event Quests and Requirements
The quest system is straightforward but requires serious buttercup farming. Here’s what you need to harvest:
| Quest | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Green Buttercups | Harvest 10 | 10 Buttercup Coins |
| Purple Buttercups | Harvest 100 | Buttercup Coins |
| Red Buttercups | Harvest 500 | Buttercup Coins |
| White Buttercup | Harvest 1 | Buttercup Coins |
The catch: White buttercups appear to be the rarest variant. You can plant dozens of buttercup seeds and not see a single white one. Meanwhile, getting 500 red buttercups is going to take serious dedication.
Important: Quests have a 24-hour cooldown after completion. Plan your farming sessions accordingly — you can’t just grind everything in one sitting.
How to Get Buttercup Coins
Buttercup Coins are earned exclusively through completing the harvest quests. Once you have coins, you can spend them at Brooklyn’s shop on event chests.
The chest rewards include:
- Big Buttercup — Larger buttercup plant
- Bigger Buttercup — Even larger variant
- Biggest Buttercup — The largest standard variant
- Beast Buttercup — The transcendent version
- Rainbow Pink Bunny — The new pet everyone wants
Pro tip: The Big and Bigger Buttercup rewards are seeds you can plant. However — and this is important — they’re single harvest only. You can’t multi-harvest them for extra buttercups. It’s a missed opportunity, honestly. Would’ve been nice if the event rewards helped you farm the event faster.
Beast Buttercup Seed Details
The headline item is the Beast Buttercup Seed — a new limited transcendent seed.
How to get it:
- Wait for it to restock in the seed shop (rare)
- Purchase for 799 Robux
- Trade tokens
The plant itself has multiple growth stages and looks pretty impressive when fully grown. It’s definitely a flex item for your garden, and since it’s limited, values will likely increase after the event ends.
If you’re a collector or trader, grabbing one (or several) while they’re available is probably smart.
Farming Tips for the Event
Stock Up on Buttercup Seeds Now
Buttercup seeds restock periodically in the seed shop. Every time you see them available, grab as many as you can. You’re going to need way more than you think for those quest requirements.
Use Giant Ants
Here’s a useful discovery: Giant Ants do duplicate buttercup harvests.
Deploy your giant ants before harvesting and you’ll get extra buttercups per plant. This is huge for hitting those 100 purple and 500 red requirements.
Plant Tight
Buttercup seeds can be planted very close together. Don’t spread them out — cram as many as possible into your available garden space. More plants = more chances at the rarer colors.
Clear Garden Space
If your garden is currently filled with other plants, you might want to clear a section specifically for buttercup farming. Dedicate at least one garden plot to nothing but buttercups for the duration of the event.
Check Stock Frequently
The seed shop restocks buttercups periodically. Keep checking back — especially after server hops — to grab more seeds whenever they’re available.
Is the Event Worth It?
For collectors: Absolutely. The Beast Buttercup and Pink Bunny are limited items that won’t be available after the event ends. If you care about rare items and trading value, participate.
For casual players: It’s a grind. The 500 red buttercup requirement is steep, and the 24-hour quest cooldown means you can’t rush through it. But if you enjoy the farming loop, it’s a decent event with unique rewards.
For traders: Stock up on buttercup-related items now. Limited seeds and pets typically increase in value once events end and supply dries up.
The event format is similar to the Carrot Coins event, so if you enjoyed that one, you’ll probably enjoy this. If you found it tedious… well, it’s more of the same.
Common Issues and Fixes
Quest List Shows Empty
Several players reported their quest list appearing empty when first talking to Brooklyn. The fix is simple: log out and log back in. The quests should populate correctly after rejoining.
Can’t Find White Buttercups
White buttercups are genuinely rare. There’s no trick to spawning them — just plant more buttercups and hope for good RNG. Some players report planting 100+ seeds before seeing their first white one.
Running Out of Buttercups Mid-Quest
This is the biggest pain point. You’ll likely run out of buttercup seeds before completing all quests, then have to wait for restocks. The 24-hour cooldown at least gives you time to gather more seeds before the next quest cycle.
Event Duration
The exact end date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but based on previous events, expect it to run for 1-2 weeks. Check the in-game announcements or the official Discord for updates.
Given the quest cooldowns and buttercup scarcity, you’ll want to start farming immediately if you want all the rewards.
Final Thoughts
The Buttercup Event is a solid addition to Grow a Garden — new seeds, a cute pet, and a reason to actually care about buttercups for once. The single-harvest rewards are a bit disappointing (multi-harvest would’ve been so much better), and the 500 red buttercup requirement is brutal, but that’s par for the course with these grinding events.
Bottom line: Start planting buttercups now, deploy those giant ants, and check the seed shop obsessively. The Pink Bunny and Beast Buttercup are worth the grind if you’re into collecting.
Good luck with those white buttercups. You’re going to need it.
Don’t forget: Giant Ants duplicate your buttercup harvests. If you have them, use them. It makes the grind significantly more bearable.
