Let’s dig in!
Sunflowers vs. Nectarines: Key Differences
| Feature | Sunflowers | Nectarines |
|---|---|---|
| Rarity | Mythical (0.5% drop) | Legendary (direct purchase) |
| Harvest Type | Single-stem, multiple yields | Multi-harvest tree |
| Base Value | ~67,500 Sheckles (Purple Dahlia benchmark) | 36,000 Sheckles per fruit |
| Best For | Quick profit, aesthetics | Long-term investment, high-volume farming |
Sunflowers: The Rare Beauty
• Ultra-rare drop (0.5% from Flower Seed Packs), making them a status symbol.
• High base value, comparable to Purple Dahlias (67.5K Sheckles).
• Pollinated Mutation boost: During Bee Swarms, their value triples (3x).
Challenges
• Hard to obtain: Requires luck or trading Honey for Seed Packs.
• Single harvest: Unlike multi-yield plants like Bamboo.
Pro Tip: Pair with Golden Bee pets (7.5% Gold Mutation chance) for even higher profits.
Nectarines: The Reliable Money Tree
Why Plant Nectarines?
• Guaranteed purchase: Costs 25 Honey in the Honey Shop (no RNG).
• Multi-harvest tree: Yields 36K Sheckles per fruit (minimum).
• HoneyGlazed Mutation: Bear Bee pets or Honey Sprinklers can further boost value.
Challenges
• Longer growth time: Trees take longer to mature than Sunflowers.
• Space-consuming: Requires dedicated plot space.
Pro Tip: Use Hive Fruit Seeds (40 Honey) alongside Nectarines for diversified income.
Which Seed Should You Prioritize?
Choose Sunflowers If You…
• Want quick, high-value harvests.
• Enjoy collecting rare plants for aesthetics.
• Are farming Honey efficiently during Bee Swarms.
Choose Nectarines If You…
• Prefer stable, long-term profits.
• Have extra Honey to spend on guaranteed seeds.
• Want to maximize mutations with Bear Bees/Sprinklers.
Hybrid Strategy: Plant both—use Sunflowers for fast cash while Nectarine trees grow!
