What Are the New Year’s Event Plants?
The Grow a Garden New Year’s Event introduces three exclusive plants that you can only get during this special celebration. These plants aren’t just for show – they come with unique abilities that can help you progress faster in the game. Each plant has different rarity levels and special traits that make them valuable additions to any garden.
The three new plants are Sparkle Slice, Firework Fern, and Colorpop Crop. Each belongs to different rarity tiers – Divine, Transcendent, and Prismatic respectively. These plants are designed to celebrate the New Year with festive themes and special bonuses that enhance your gameplay experience.
How to Get New Year’s Plants in Grow a Garden
Getting these special plants requires different methods depending on which one you want. Here’s a breakdown of how to obtain each plant during the New Year’s Event:
Sparkle Slice Acquisition
Sparkle Slice is a Divine rarity plant that you can purchase from the Event Shop. You have two options to get this plant:
- Pay 100,000,000 Sheckles (in-game currency)
- Spend 1,100 Robux (premium currency)
The Event Shop is specially set up for the New Year’s Event and features limited-time items including this sparkly plant. Make sure to visit the shop early in the event to ensure you don’t miss out on this Divine rarity plant.
Firework Fern Details
Firework Fern is the most expensive plant in the New Year’s Event, classified as Transcendent rarity. You can find this plant in the Default Seed Shop, but only during the event period. The costs are:
- 1 Trillion Sheckles
- 1,299 Robux
This makes Firework Fern one of the most premium plants available in the game. The Default Seed Shop is where you normally buy regular seeds, but during the New Year’s Event, it features this special Transcendent plant.
Colorpop Crop Free Reward
Colorpop Crop is the only plant you can get for free during the New Year’s Event. This Prismatic rarity plant is awarded as a bonus for claiming all the New Year’s Login Gifts. Here’s how to get it:
- Log in daily during the event
- Claim all available Login Gifts
- Receive Colorpop Crop as your final reward
This makes Colorpop Crop accessible to all players, even those who don’t want to spend Robux or save up Sheckles. The Login Gifts system rewards consistent players with valuable items throughout the event.
Understanding Plant Traits and Benefits
Each New Year’s plant comes with special traits that provide unique benefits to your garden. These traits activate when the plants are fully grown and can significantly impact your gameplay strategy.
Sparkle Slice Special Abilities
Sparkle Slice reduces nearby egg hatch time by 5% every 10 minutes when fully grown. This trait is particularly useful if you’re trying to hatch pets quickly or manage multiple eggs simultaneously. The Divine rarity of this plant reflects its valuable contribution to your garden’s efficiency.
Place Sparkle Slice near your egg incubators to maximize its benefits. The effect stacks with other similar plants, so consider creating a dedicated area for egg-related activities with multiple Sparkle Slice plants.
Firework Fern Unique Features
Firework Fern is the most visually impressive plant in the New Year’s Event. When fully grown, it shoots fireworks every five minutes, creating a spectacular display in your garden. But its benefits go beyond aesthetics – this Transcendent plant also reduces the growth time of other plants by one minute.
This makes Firework Fern an excellent choice for players who want to speed up their farming operations. The reduction in growth time applies to all plants in your garden, making it a valuable investment for serious players.
Colorpop Crop Characteristics
Colorpop Crop doesn’t have active traits like the other two plants, but its Prismatic rarity makes it a valuable collector’s item. This plant features vibrant, changing colors that add visual appeal to your garden. While it doesn’t provide gameplay benefits, it serves as a trophy for completing all the New Year’s Login Gifts.
Pro Tips for New Year’s Event Success
To make the most of the Grow a Garden New Year’s Event, consider these strategies:
- Plan Your Budget: Decide early whether you’ll spend Robux or save Sheckles for the premium plants. The costs are significant, so budget accordingly.
- Daily Login Routine: Set reminders to claim your Login Gifts every day. Missing even one day means you won’t get Colorpop Crop.
- Strategic Placement: Place Sparkle Slice near egg areas and Firework Fern in central locations to maximize their benefits.
- Event Timeline: The New Year’s Event is time-limited. Check the event duration and plan your purchases before it ends.
- Combine Benefits: Use multiple Sparkle Slice plants together for greater egg hatch time reduction.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
When participating in the New Year’s Event, watch out for these common pitfalls:
- Waiting Too Long: Don’t wait until the last day to buy plants from the Event Shop or Default Seed Shop, as the event might end before you can purchase.
- Ignoring Login Gifts: Even if you don’t want Colorpop Crop, the Login Gifts contain other valuable items worth claiming daily.
- Poor Plant Placement: Don’t place Sparkle Slice far from your eggs or Firework Fern in isolated corners where their benefits are wasted.
- Overspending: Set a budget for Robux purchases and stick to it. The plants are expensive, and it’s easy to overspend during events.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many new plants are in the New Year’s Update?
The New Year’s Update in Grow a Garden adds exactly three new plants: Sparkle Slice, Firework Fern, and Colorpop Crop. Each plant has different rarity levels and acquisition methods. Sparkle Slice is Divine rarity, Firework Fern is Transcendent, and Colorpop Crop is Prismatic. These plants are only available during the limited-time New Year’s Event, so make sure to get them before the event ends.
What is the best plant in the New Year’s Update?
Firework Fern is generally considered the best plant in the New Year’s Update due to its Transcendent rarity and dual benefits. Not only does it create an impressive fireworks display every five minutes, but it also reduces the growth time of all other plants in your garden by one minute. This makes it extremely valuable for players who want to maximize their farming efficiency. However, the “best” plant depends on your specific needs – if you focus on pet hatching, Sparkle Slice might be more useful for you.
How to obtain Colorpop Crop in Grow a Garden?
Colorpop Crop is obtained by claiming all New Year’s Login Gifts during the event. You need to log in to Grow a Garden every day and collect the daily login rewards. Once you’ve claimed all available login gifts throughout the event period, Colorpop Crop will be automatically awarded to you as the final reward. This Prismatic rarity plant is completely free and doesn’t require any Robux or Sheckles, making it accessible to all players who maintain consistent daily logins during the event.
Can I buy New Year’s plants after the event ends?
No, the New Year’s plants are exclusive to the event period and cannot be purchased after the New Year’s Event concludes. Sparkle Slice is only available in the Event Shop during the event, Firework Fern appears in the Default Seed Shop only for the event duration, and Colorpop Crop is only rewarded through the Login Gifts system. Once the event ends, these plants will no longer be available, making them valuable collector’s items for players who obtain them.
Do New Year’s plants work with regular plants?
Yes, New Year’s plants work seamlessly with regular plants in your garden. In fact, their traits are designed to benefit your entire garden. Firework Fern reduces growth time for all plants, including your regular crops. Sparkle Slice affects egg hatch time regardless of what other plants you have. Colorpop Crop, while not having active traits, adds visual variety to your garden alongside your regular plants. You can place these special plants anywhere in your garden layout.
Are New Year’s plants worth the cost?
The value of New Year’s plants depends on your playstyle and goals. Firework Fern at 1 Trillion Sheckles or 1,299 Robux is expensive but offers permanent growth time reduction benefits. Sparkle Slice at 100,000,000 Sheckles or 1,100 Robux provides ongoing egg hatch time bonuses. Colorpop Crop is free with consistent logins. For dedicated players who plan to continue playing long-term, these plants can be worthwhile investments in efficiency and collection value. Casual players might prefer focusing on Colorpop Crop since it’s free.
Can I trade New Year’s plants with other players?
Currently, New Year’s plants in Grow a Garden cannot be traded with other players. These plants are bound to your account once obtained, whether through purchase from the Event Shop, Default Seed Shop, or as Login Gift rewards. This ensures that players must participate in the event themselves to acquire these special plants, maintaining their exclusivity and value. If trading features are added in future updates, the game developers will likely announce this through official channels.

The Grow a Garden New Year’s Event brings three exciting plants that can enhance your gameplay experience. Whether you choose to invest in the premium Sparkle Slice and Firework Fern or work toward the free Colorpop Crop through daily logins, these plants add value to your garden with their unique traits and festive appearance.
Remember that the New Year’s Event is time-limited, so plan your strategy accordingly. Consider your budget, playstyle, and goals when deciding which plants to pursue.
