How to Get the Azure Mutation in Grow a Garden

The Azure Mutation is exclusive to the Mizuchi pet. This pet has a special ability that has a small chance to apply the Azure effect to a nearby fruit once every nine minutes.

Getting the Mizuchi pet requires dedication—it’s only available by reaching Level 47 on the Season 1 Season Pass. Once unlocked, Mizuchi’s ability can passively enhance your nearby crops over time, though you’ll need patience (and some luck) to see results.

What Does the Azure Mutation Do?

Like all mutations, Azure applies a value multiplier to your crops. Specifically, it increases the selling value of affected crops by ×75, making it one of the most profitable mutations currently available.

What Makes Azure Mutation Special?

The Azure Mutation stands out because it’s the only mutation tied to weather events and the Mizuchi pet system. Unlike standard mutations that can be obtained through multiple gameplay methods, the Azure Mutation requires specific pet ownership and careful timing.

Azure Mutation Mechanics

How the Ability Works

The Mizuchi pet automatically attempts to apply the Azure Mutation to a nearby fruit roughly once every nine minutes. This predictable cooldown allows for strategic crop management and timing optimization.

Optimal Timing Strategies:

• Plant crops with 10–15 minute growth cycles to sync with Mizuchi’s ability cooldown.
• Position Mizuchi near clusters of high-value fruits for maximum profit potential.
• Track the cooldown timer to ensure crops are ready for mutation effects.
• Coordinate with other mutation sources to create compound multipliers for exceptional yields.
