How to Get the Candy Blossom During the Summer Event in Grow a Garden
Launch
19 September 2025
Why the Candy Blossom Is Summer's MVP
The Candy Blossom is the signature crop of the annual Sweet Blossoms summer event. Once planted, each flower yields Sugar Petals that sell for 1,800 Gold—or can be refined into Cotton Candy Fertilizer, a consumable that speeds any crop's growth by 10 % for 45 minutes. Because the seeds are event-exclusive, savvy farmers stockpile them for year-round profits.

Step 1 | Collect Summer Coins Fast
| Activity | Coins/hour | Notes |

Step 2 | Buy a Candy Blossom Seed
- Teleport to Taffy Terrace via the pink balloon in the plaza.
- Locate vendor Lolli Lana (stall #1).
- Select Candy Blossom Seed — 250 Summer Coins.
- Confirm purchase; the seed appears in your Event Seeds tab.
Step 3 | Plant at the Correct Time
Candy Blossoms have a hidden timing bonus: planting during the in-game daytime (06:00–18:00 server clock) reduces growth by 25 %. Use the world clock under the minimap.
- Prepare a standard soil plot or Candy-themed plot if available.
- Plant the seed; a pastel glow confirms correct placement.
- Water once. No fertilizer needed unless rushing multiple harvests.
Growth Phases
| Phase | Duration | Visual cue |
|---|---|---|
| Sprout | 10 min | Tiny pink bud |
| Bloom | 20 min | Petals unfold; candy swirl appears |
| Sweeten | 15 min | Sparkling sugar dust |
| Harvest | — | Petals shimmer; ready to pick |
Total base time: 45 minutes. With daytime bonus: 34 minutes.
Step 4 | Harvest and Use Rewards
- Sugar Petals ×3 — sell for 1,800 Gold each or refine into Cotton Candy Fertilizer.
- Chance for Seed Fragment (10 %) — collect five to craft an extra Candy Blossom seed.
- Pollination Aura — for 30 minutes, nearby crops gain +5 % yield.
Refining Cotton Candy Fertilizer
- Go to the Sweet Mixer in Taffy Terrace.
- Add 3 Sugar Petals + 200 Gold.
- Receive 1 Cotton Candy Fertilizer (growth speed +10 % for 45 min).
Total Cost vs. Profit
- Seed: 250 Summer Coins (≈4 Lemonade Stand runs)
- Sell 3 Petals: 5,400 Gold
- ROI: recoup cost after one harvest; everything else is profit.
Common Mistakes
- Planting at night — forfeits 25 % speed bonus.
- Ignoring full inventory — Petals dropped on ground despawn in 3 min.
- Skipping daily quest — easy 25 coins lost each day.
- Forgetting to redeem Seed Fragments — five fragments auto-combine only in inventory, not in storage.
- Selling Petals before event ends — price rises 20 % post-event due to scarcity.
Advanced Tips
Server-Hop Strategy
Buy seeds on one shard, plant, hop to another to repeat; servers track coin cap separately, letting you bypass daily vendor limit (3 seeds/day/server).
Pollinator Pet Synergy
Equip a Queen Bee or Raccoon to double Petal drops or snag bonus seeds via Loot Sniff.
Market Timing
Hold Sugar Petals until the last 48 hours of the event; potion crafters hoard them then, spiking prices by 30 %.

Conclusion
The Candy Blossom turns a few Summer Coins into a cascade of Sugar Petals, growth-speed buffs, and hefty Gold profits. Farm coins early, buy seeds before the vendor quota resets, plant during daylight for a quick bloom, and either cash-out petals or refine them into fertilizers. Master the loop and you'll squeeze every sweet drop from the summer spectacle—long after the sun sets on Taffy Terrace.
