Radioactive can only occur during the Radioactive Carrot weather event in Grow a Garden.
In this weather event, players will need to come together to launch a Carrot, like a rocket, into the sky to spread the Radioactive mutation.

How to get Radioactive mutation in Grow a Garden
To get a Radioactive mutation in Grow a Garden, you need to have experienced the Radioactive Carrot weather event in game. Afterwards (or during if you’re lucky), investigate your plants and see if a fruit has a glowing green hue. If so, this is a Radioactive mutation!
Whilst it may vary between different plants and will be affected by other mutations you have on a particular plant, the Radioactive mutation has around a x118 multiplier for your crops. This is based on our Radioactive Orange Tulip being worth 91,028 Sheckles, and the base value of Orange Tulips being 767.
To get the most out of your crops, be sure to pair this with other mutations to be able to sell them for an even higher price.
Grow a Garden Radioactive Carrot explained
Radioactive Carrot is a weather event in Grow a Garden where a Carrot will be summoned, and players in the area will be required to donate their own plants and fill it up enough to launch the Carrot – acting as a rocket – into the sky to then deploy the Radioactive mutation.
At the time of writing, the only Radioactive Carrot event to take place was an admin-spawned weather event. This means it only occurred because the game’s developers expressly made it happen. We don’t know if it will always be an admin spawned event, however, so keep an eye on those skies!


Still, your best chance to experience the Radioactive Carrot event is to jump into Grow a Garden an hour before it updates as the admins always like to run special weather events in the build up. For UK players, this would be 2pm (BST) with the update arriving at 3pm (BST).
Hope you have a Radioactive mutation! Take a look at our best mutations page.
