The Pyracantha is one of the most exciting additions to Grow a Garden, introduced on September 6, 2025 during the Fairy Update. As a Legendary crop, it’s highly sought after for its rarity, value, and ability to be harvested multiple times. Unlike common seeds, Pyracantha cannot be purchased directly — players must instead rely on the luck of the chests introduced in the Fairy Event.
Visually, Pyracantha is quite striking. Its design is similar to the Princess Thorn crop but more angular and blocky, with a brown base covered in sharp gray spikes. This thorny look makes it fit the mystical Fairy World theme and sets it apart as one of the more intimidating plants you can add to your garden.
Get
Getting Pyracantha isn’t as straightforward as buying it from the Seed Stall. Instead, you’ll need to rely on chance-based methods. The seed can appear in both the Enchanted Chest and the Exotic Enchanted Chest with a 14.5% drop chance, or slightly more often in the Rainbow Sack at 15%. Because of its rarity, you may need to grind multiple attempts before securing one.
Whether you’re hunting for rare crops like Pyracantha or looking to expand your collection of magical companions, the Fairy Update offers plenty of ways to grow your garden. For players who enjoy both farming and collecting, don’t forget that you can also buy Grow A Garden pets to accompany you on your adventures, making your garden feel even more alive and rewarding.
How to Get Enchanted Chests
There are currently two main methods for acquiring Enchanted Chests, which are the most reliable way to roll for Pyracantha:
- Purchasing from the Luminous Sprite in Fairy World
- First, unlock the Fairy World by entering a Fairy Ring portal during the event.
- In the center of the Fairy World, locate the Luminous Sprite NPC.
- After you’ve caught enough fairies, you’ll unlock the option to purchase an Enchanted Chest.
- Each chest costs 8,000 Fairy Points.
- Crafting at the Green Fairy Crafting Table
- Head back to the main island, near the Fairy Godmother, where you’ll find the green fairy crafting table.
- Recipe for one Enchanted Chest:
- 1 × Sunbulb
- 1 × Enchanted Seed Pack
- 1 × Enchanted Egg
- 6,000 Fairy Points
- This method is often easier for players who are farming materials rather than spending Fairy Points directly.
Rainbow Sack Drops
A Rainbow Sack offers a slightly higher 15% chance of yielding Pyracantha seeds. However, Rainbow Sacks are generally harder to come by and may be less efficient than farming Enchanted Chests.

Why Pyracantha Is Worth Growing
Pyracantha isn’t just a collector’s item — it’s a high-value crop with plenty of advantages for dedicated gardeners:
- Multi-Harvest Capability: Unlike many rare crops, Pyracantha allows you to harvest repeatedly without needing to replant. This makes it an ongoing source of income once obtained.
- High Value: With an average value of 42,000 Sheckles, Pyracantha ranks among the top crops for profitability.
- Event-Exclusive Rarity: Since it was introduced during the Fairy Update, it may not always be obtainable in the future, making it a potential long-term investment.
One important note: Pyracantha does not produce additional seeds through Lucky Harvests, as it’s not part of the standard Seed Shop rotation. That means the only way to collect more is by farming chests or sacks.
Tips for Farming Pyracantha
- Save Fairy Points: You’ll need thousands of Fairy Points whether you’re buying or crafting Enchanted Chests. Farm fairies early in the event to build up a strong supply.
- Balance Chest Sources: If you’re short on Fairy Points, consider crafting chests instead of buying them. Players with plenty of crafting materials may find this route cheaper.
- Open in Bulk: Because Pyracantha has a 14.5% chance, the odds of pulling one increase significantly when you save up and open multiple chests at once.
- Keep it Growing: Once planted, don’t remove Pyracantha from your garden — its multi-harvest feature means it will pay off over time.
The Pyracantha is one of the standout crops of the Fairy Update. Between its Legendary status, multi-harvest potential, and high market value, it’s a must-have for any serious gardener in Grow a Garden. Although farming chests can take patience, the rewards are well worth the effort. If you’re playing during the Fairy Event, make it a top priority to secure this spiky, mystical plant for your collection.
