The Pitcher Plant is one of the most coveted divine crops in Grow a Garden. Introduced in the Mega Harvest Update on June 7, 2025, alongside the Rafflesia, it’s a multi-harvest, tropical, and toxic crop that stands out for its rarity and unique design.
Overview
The Pitcher Plant belongs to several crop classifications: Toxic, Stalky, Summer, and Leafy. These categories determine how certain items and weather conditions affect its growth.
Owning a Pitcher Plant is a true milestone for any dedicated gardener, but your journey doesn’t end there. To boost your chances of finding rare seeds and improve your harvests, don’t forget to buy Grow A Garden pets like the Red Fox, Golden Lab, or Snail. These loyal companions can help you uncover hidden treasures, making your garden even more magical and rewarding.
Appearance
The Pitcher Plant closely resembles its real-life counterpart. Its tubular yellow-green body curves like a natural pitcher, with a dark red ridge (peristome) and a small lid hanging above it. The stem bends downward, and sharp green leaves emerge from the sides. The seed itself has a striking color gradient from green to bright orange, with a distinctive orange stem and red lid — similar to a Feijoa seed but with a richer hue.
How to Obtain the Pitcher Plant
The Pitcher Plant is a Divine-tier seed, which means it’s both rare and valuable. It can be obtained through several methods, although luck and patience are essential.

Primary Method: The Summer Seed Merchant

If you want to secure it this way:
- Visit Tom’s Seed Shop regularly.
- Check during the Summer season, as that’s when it’s most likely to appear.
- Save enough Sheckles or Robux in advance — the Divine seeds sell out quickly!
Alternative Ways to Obtain the Pitcher Plant
If waiting isn’t your style, there are alternative (and luck-based) methods to obtain a Pitcher Plant seed:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Lucky Harvest | Sometimes grants a free Pitcher Plant seed when harvesting existing plants. |
| Snail Companion | Boosts your chance of receiving a Lucky Harvest seed. |
| Red Fox | Has a chance to “steal” (duplicate) seeds from other players’ gardens — works best if someone owns a Pitcher Plant. |
| Golden Lab or Dog | Can randomly dig up rare seeds, including the Pitcher Plant. |
Pet Abilities Explained
- Red Fox – A mischievous pet that can duplicate seeds from other gardens. It’s luck-based and less effective with rare seeds.
- Golden Lab & Dog – These pets can dig up seeds during gameplay. While not guaranteed, their discovery rate is decent for Divine-tier crops.
Trivia
- The Pitcher Plant seed is collidable in the game world.
- A large Pitcher Plant can trap players if the garden exit is blocked with cosmetics.
- Its model is based on the real-life carnivorous pitcher plant.
- Its seed design is nearly identical to the Feijoa seed, except for the orange stem and red leaf.
- Considering the 20% chance of the Summer Merchant appearing and the 0.45% stock rate, the true chance of obtaining a Pitcher Plant is approximately 0.09% — making it one of the rarest crops in the game.
The Pitcher Plant is not just another crop — it’s a status symbol for dedicated Grow a Garden players. Whether you purchase it directly, find it through Lucky Harvest, or have your pets dig one up, owning a Pitcher Plant means you’ve joined an elite group of gardeners who have truly mastered their craft.
