Hey there, fellow gardeners! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been absolutely hooked on Grow a Garden since its release. And now that Halloween is just around the corner, I couldn’t be more excited about the special Halloween Shop and all the spooky seeds it brings! I’ve spent countless hours (and maybe a few sleepless nights) exploring every nook and cranny of this seasonal event, and I’m here to share everything I’ve discovered.
Before we dive into the seeds themselves, let me give you a quick rundown of what the Halloween Shop is all about. For those new to the game, Grow a Garden is this adorable mobile game where you plant seeds, grow plants, and create your dream garden. But during special events like Halloween, the game gets a spooky makeover!
The Halloween Shop is a limited time event that typically runs throughout October, offering exclusive seeds, decorations, and garden items that you can’t get during the rest of the year. Trust me, as someone who’s been playing since last year’s Halloween event, these limited edition items are worth the effort!
Spooky seeds are special Halloween themed seeds that grow into unique, eerie plants. Unlike regular seeds, these produce plants with ghostly appearances, pumpkin themed designs, and other spooky aesthetics. But they’re not just for looks these plants often come with special benefits like higher coin yields, unique attraction properties for rare insects, or special effects in your garden.
I learned the hard way last year that waiting too long to collect these seeds means missing out entirely. Once November hits, the Halloween Shop disappears, and you’ll have to wait until next year to get these seeds again. So, don’t make my mistake start collecting early!
After extensive research and gameplay (I’m talking hours of planting and harvesting), I’ve compiled a complete list of all the spooky seeds available in this year’s Halloween Shop. Let me break them down by rarity:
These are the easiest to obtain and are great for beginners or those looking to quickly fill their garden with Halloween spirit.
| Seed Name | Cost in Halloween Shop | Growth Time | Harvest Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin Patch | 50 Candy Corn | 4 hours | 100 Coins |
| Ghostly Grass | 75 Candy Corn | 6 hours | 150 Coins |
| Spider Sprout | 60 Candy Corn | 5 hours | 120 Coins |
| Bat Blossom | 80 Candy Corn | 7 hours | 180 Coins |
These seeds require a bit more effort or resources to obtain, but they’re worth it for their unique appearances and higher yields.
| Seed Name | Cost in Halloween Shop | Growth Time | Harvest Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haunted Hibiscus | 150 Candy Corn | 12 hours | 400 Coins |
| Witch’s Wort | 200 Candy Corn | 15 hours | 550 Coins |
| Zombie Zinnia | 175 Candy Corn | 14 hours | 500 Coins |
| Vampire Vine | 225 Candy Corn | 16 hours | 600 Coins |
The cream of the crop! These seeds are the hardest to get but produce the most impressive plants with the highest rewards.
| Seed Name | Cost in Halloween Shop | Growth Time | Harvest Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phantom Flower | 500 Candy Corn | 24 hours | 1,500 Coins |
| Demon’s Daisy | 600 Candy Corn | 30 hours | 2,000 Coins |
| Cursed Cactus | 550 Candy Corn | 28 hours | 1,800 Coins |
| Spectral Sunflower | 700 Candy Corn | 36 hours | 2,500 Coins |

Now that you know what seeds are available, let’s talk about how to get your hands on them. I’ve discovered several methods, each with its own pros and cons:
The most straightforward method is buying seeds directly from the Halloween Shop using Candy Corn, the special event currency.
| Method | Candy Corn Earned | Time Required | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Login Bonus | 50-200 Candy Corn | 30 seconds | Very Easy |
| Completing Halloween Quests | 100-500 Candy Corn | 5-30 minutes | Easy |
| Growing and Harvesting Halloween Plants | 20-100 Candy Corn per harvest | 4-36 hours | Medium |
| Special Halloween Mini Games | 50-300 Candy Corn | 2-10 minutes | Medium |
| Purchasing with Real Money | Varies by package | N/A | Easy (but costs real money) |
During the Halloween event, certain actions in the game have a chance to drop spooky seeds directly. I’ve found these methods particularly effective:
Don’t forget that Grow a Garden has a robust trading system! If you have duplicates or seeds you don’t want, you can trade them with other players for seeds you’re missing. I’ve created a small trading group with my friends, and we’ve been able to help each other complete our collections.
One of the most exciting parts of the Halloween event is seeing what these spooky seeds actually grow into! After planting and harvesting dozens of each type, I can give you the inside scoop on what to expect:
Now that you know all about the spooky seeds and what they grow into, let me share some strategies I’ve developed to make the most of them:
I’ve dedicated a specific section of my garden entirely to Halloween plants. Not only does this look fantastic, but it also provides practical benefits:
With growth times ranging from 4 hours to 36 hours, it’s important to balance your planting schedule. Here’s what works for me:
This ensures I always have something ready to harvest, maximizing my Candy Corn income.
While it’s tempting to plant one of everything, I’ve found it’s more efficient to focus on unlocking and planting higher yield plants first. Here’s my recommended priority order:
The Halloween event often includes special boost items that can speed up growth or increase yields. I’ve learned to save these for my legendary plants to get the most value:
Beyond just planting spooky seeds, there are several ways to maximize your rewards during the Halloween event:
The Halloween event features special daily quests that reward Candy Corn and sometimes even rare seeds. I make sure to complete these every day without fail. Some examples include:
Throughout the Halloween season, the game developers often release limited time mini events with exclusive rewards. These might include:
I’ve found that participating in these events not only provides great rewards but also keeps the game feeling fresh and exciting.
If you’re part of a gardening club or have friends who play, consider creating a dedicated group for the Halloween event. In my group, we:
This social aspect has really enhanced my enjoyment of the event and helped me collect seeds much faster than I could have alone.
The Halloween Shop typically runs for the entire month of October, from October 1st to November 1st. However, I’ve noticed that in the past couple of years, they’ve started extending it by a few days, sometimes until November 3rd or 4th. To be safe, I always aim to complete my collection by October 31st.
Yes! Once you’ve planted a Halloween seed, it will continue to grow and produce even after the event ends. However, you won’t be able to purchase new seeds or find them as drops once the Halloween Shop has closed. This is why it’s so important to collect as many seeds as possible during the event.
Unfortunately, any unused Candy Corn typically disappears when the Halloween event ends. The game developers don’t usually convert it to regular coins or carry it over to the next year. I learned this the hard way in my first year, so now I make sure to spend all my Candy Corn before the event concludes.
Absolutely! While they have a spooky theme, many Halloween plants offer benefits that are useful year round. For example, the Demon’s Daisy provides a permanent coin boost, and the Vampire Vine increases growth speed for nearby plants. I keep a section of my garden dedicated to these beneficial Halloween plants even after the event ends.
Based on previous events, most seeds do return the following year, but there are usually new additions as well. The developers like to keep things fresh by introducing 2-4 new spooky seeds each year. However, some particularly rare or popular seeds from previous years might become “retired” and harder to obtain. If there’s a seed you really love, I recommend trying to collect extra this year just in case!

I hope this guide helps you make the most of the Halloween event in Grow a Garden! I’ve poured all my knowledge and experience into these pages, and I’m confident that if you follow these tips, you’ll have the spookiest, most productive garden around.
