The Easter Part 2 update in Grow a Garden is not huge, but it matters a lot because it adds a few systems that can seriously change how we farm. The two biggest highlights are easy to spot: the real Candy Blossom is back, and OG owners can upgrade into Elder Candy Blossom. On top of that, we also get a new Bunny exchange system, a small hourly Egg War event, several new seeds, and one pet that looks strong enough to affect endgame farming.

This guide keeps things simple. We'll cover what was added, what is worth your time, and what we should prioritize first.

↖ What Was Added in Easter Part 2

Here's the short version of the update.

The update is best seen as a grind-and-upgrade patch. It rewards efficient farming more than random exploring.

↖ Best New Seeds

Not every seed here is equal. Based on current in-game testing and player observations, this is the quick ranking.

↖ Easter Sprout is the one to chase

From what we've seen, Easter Sprout has the highest upside by far. The drop rate is low, but the sale value is strong enough to justify farming for it.

↖ Easter Eggmelon is more reliable

If you want something steadier and easier to understand, Easter Eggmelon is the safer choice. It will not carry the same ceiling as Easter Sprout, but it still pays well.

↖ Blue Candy Lollipop is decent, not amazing

It's usable, especially for players still building up their garden. But compared to the top rewards in this update, it's more of a side option than a main target.

↖ Evil Bunny: Best Way to Farm It

This is the most important system in the update outside of Candy Blossom.

The Evil Bunny asks us to destroy a planted crop from our garden. In return, we get a random reward. Possible rewards include:

• Chalk Coins
• Golden Eggs
• Easter Crate
• Candy Pop Seed
• Stork
• Orchid Mantis
• Easter Sprout Seed

↖ The biggest tip: use Rare crops, not expensive ones

This is where a lot of players waste value.

From testing, Rare-tier plants seem to be enough to hit the useful reward ceiling. That means we do not need to destroy Legendary, Mythical, Divine, or higher-tier plants for better outcomes.

If you want the cleanest setup, do this:

1. Use a spare plot

2. Fill it with easy Rare crops

3. Destroy only what the Bunny asks for

4. Repeat every refresh cycle

That one change makes the grind much cheaper and much safer.

In practice, this system is worth farming because it leads to Golden Eggs, Easter Sprout, and Orchid Mantis, which are the real prize pool.

↖ New Pets Ranked

The  Grow a Graden pets are not equal either. One of them is clearly ahead.

↖ Orchid Mantis

This is the standout pet in the whole update.

It can help create a mutation chain that leads into Gold and even Rainbow fruit. That alone gives it real endgame value. If you pull this pet, it is worth building around.

↖ Stork

The Stork sends fruit to another player's pet for XP or a small boost. On paper, that sounds modest. In practice, some players will use it for coordinated leveling or alt-account setups, so it has more value than it first appears.

↖ Beaver

The Beaver is mostly for builders. It turns woody fruits into wooden cosmetics, which is great if you care about decorating your plot. For pure profit, though, it is not a priority pickup.

↖ Is Egg War Worth Doing?

Sometimes, yes. Usually, not for long-term grinders.

Egg War happens every hour and gives a small number of eggs. The issue is that the reward pool feels limited.

If you are already focused on efficient progression, Egg War is a side event, not a core grind.

↖ How to Get the Real Candy Blossom

This is the part most players care about.

To craft Candy Blossom, we need:

• 20 Golden Eggs
• 1 Candy Blossom Shard

The Candy Blossom Shard comes from the Angry Plant system after enough submissions.

↖ Fastest route

The cleanest way to approach this is to farm both at the same time:

• Run Evil Bunny for rewards
• Gather Golden Eggs
• Progress the Angry Plant requirement
• Craft Candy Blossom once both are done

This loop is much better than trying to do everything one step at a time.

↖ Elder Candy Blossom Explained

The update also protects older players from losing all exclusivity.

If we already owned the original Candy Blossom before Easter Part 2, we receive access to Elder Candy Blossom Shard. That shard upgrades a normal Candy Blossom into Elder Candy Blossom permanently.

Observed Elder Candy Blossom values were around $235K to $270K, depending on fruit size. It also has a more distinctive appearance, so it works as both a value upgrade and a status item.

That feels like a fair middle ground. Newer players can get Candy Blossom, while long-time players still keep something special.

↖ Best Order to Play This Update

If we want the most efficient route, this is the order that makes the most sense:

1. Farm Evil Bunny using Rare crops

2. Collect Golden Eggs

3. Submit fruits to Angry Plant for the shard

4. Craft Candy Blossom

5. Keep chasing Easter Sprout and Orchid Mantis

6. Do Egg War only if it fits your downtime

This order works because it avoids waste. We stay focused on the rewards that actually move our account forward.

↖ FAQ

↖ How do we get Candy Blossom in Easter Part 2?

We need 20 Golden Eggs and 1 Candy Blossom Shard. The shard is earned by submitting 25 fruits to the Angry Plant.

↖ Is this the real Candy Blossom?

Yes. It is the original Candy Blossom returning to the game.

↖ What is the best new seed?

Right now, Easter Sprout looks like the strongest based on observed sale value.

↖ What is the best new pet?

Orchid Mantis is the strongest overall because of its mutation potential.

↖ Should we use expensive plants for Evil Bunny?

No. Based on current testing, Rare crops are enough, so using higher-tier plants is inefficient.

↖ Is Egg War worth farming every hour?

Mostly for newer or returning players. Established players usually get more value from Bunny farming.

↖ Final Thoughts

Easter Part 2 is at its best when we treat it like an efficiency update. The content looks simple at first, but the smart path is clear once we test it a little: use cheap Rare crops for the Bunny, farm Golden Eggs and shard progress together, then aim for Candy Blossom, Easter Sprout, and Orchid Mantis.

If you want the short version, here it is: Candy Blossom is worth getting, Elder Candy Blossom keeps OG value intact, and Orchid Mantis may end up being the most important long-term reward in the entire update.
