Garden Life: A Cozy Simulatoris another entry into the ever-expanding cozy genre filled with relaxing vibes and just a touch of whimsy. This game departs from the more quest-centered cozy games, introducing you into a simple but lovely story in which you have to recover a community garden after the previous caretaker passes away.

While you work hard planting, crafting, fixing, and everything in between, you will have a chance to grow a selection of flowers that come in different colors. From seasonal, to little hybrids, here’s how you may find seed variants to plant in your garden.

Getting Seed Variants From Your Garden

This is a little trickier to pin down becauseit happens at random. Normally, plants will produce seeds after they’ve beengrown for at least an entire in-game day.

The most standard thing that will happen is that a plant will give outthe same kind of seeds it was planted from. So, a Red Rose Bush will give you Red Rose Seeds and so on.

You will know a plant is ready to harvest seeds from when it “glows,” which means it will havelittle green wisps flowing from it.

All plants are capable of producing different seed variantson occasion. You will be able to tell when you’ve gotten a different variant because the plantwill glow a different color.
