In Plants vs Brainrots, your plants are the backbone of your defense.
Each plant comes with a unique rarity, seed cost, and base damage, making them essential for countering stronger waves of brainrots.
Choosing the right plants and understanding how mutations work is key to building a powerful garden defense.
This guide covers all plants in Plants vs Brainrots, their stats, mutation effects, and the best strategies for each stage of the game.
How to Get Plants in Plants vs Brainrots
-
Purchase Seeds: Seeds can be bought from the George NPC near your plot.
-
Refresh Cycle: Seed stock refreshes every 5 minutes, so check frequently.
-
Growth Time: Rarer plants take longer to grow, but they deal much higher damage.
-
Gifting: Some plants can also be received as gifts from other players.
Once planted, your plants automatically attack incoming brainrots in their lanes. Positioning, rarity, and mutations all affect performance.
Mutation System Explained
Every plant has a chance to grow with a mutation, which enhances its damage or adds effects. Here are all the mutation types:
- Normal: Standard growth, 1x base damage
- Gold: 2x base damage
- Diamond: 3x base damage
- Neon: 4.5x base damage (highest multiplier)
- Frozen: 4x base damage + freezes enemies for a short duration
💡 Pro Tip: A lower-tier plant with a strong mutation can outperform a higher-tier plant without one. For example, a Gold Cactus (20 dmg, $200) is stronger than a Normal Strawberry (25 dmg, $1.25k).

Plant Strategy by Rarity
-
Rare Plants (Cactus, Strawberry): Best for beginners. Cheap to plant and great for early-game lanes.
-
Epic Plants (Pumpkin, Sunflower): Core defense units in mid-game. Sunflower’s DPS makes it one of the most efficient upgrades.
-
Legendary Plants (Dragon Fruit, Eggplant): Huge power jump. Eggplant has double the base damage of Dragon Fruit and is worth saving for.
-
Mythic (Watermelon): Strong damage at 750 base. A good bridge into higher rarities.
-
Godly (Cocotank, Carnivorous Plant): High investment, but their massive base damage secures lanes against tougher brainrots.
-
Secret Plants (Mr. Carrot, Tomatrio): End-game goals. Their insane damage makes them unmatched, especially when combined with Neon or Diamond mutations.
Progression Strategy
Here’s how to plan your investments as you grow in Plants vs Brainrots:
-
Early Game (Under $10k):
Focus on Cactus → Strawberry → Pumpkin. Prioritize mutated plants since even a Gold Cactus can outperform a normal higher-tier unit. -
Mid Game ($10k – $500k):
Sunflower becomes your main damage dealer. Balance investment between planting and saving for Eggplant. -
Late Game ($500k – $50m):
Shift to Legendary and Mythic plants. A Diamond Eggplant (1,500 dmg) beats a Normal Watermelon. -
End Game ($50m+):
Aim for Mr. Carrot and Tomatrio. Focus on Neon or Diamond mutations for maximum damage scaling.
Key Tips for Defending Your Garden
-
Mutation Priority: Neon > Diamond > Frozen > Gold > Normal
-
Placement Strategy: Put your strongest plants in choke points where brainrots bunch up.
-
Resource Balance: Keep a 70/30 split between brainrot income and plant investment to avoid overspending.
-
Emergency Defense: Always keep a few cheaper plants ready to reinforce weak lanes.
