Verdant analysis
Verdant comes from the Scarlet Macaw and is a Paradisal component — but because fusing into Paradisal destroys value, you are almost always better off leaving Verdant applied as-is and stacking other mutations on top.
Overall ranking
#22 of 45Verdant is the 22nd-strongest mutation in the game and 4th of 7 in the Pet category. That is 1.5× the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+44Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Verdant therefore contributes +44 to the bracket, not ×45 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+20.1%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Verdant raises it to ×263 — a 20.1% increase. Verdant is middling at #22 of 45: its 20.1% improvement is useful padding but will not carry a crop alone. Take it when it lands, do not plan around it.
How to obtain
PetSource: Scarlet Macaw ability. Pet mutations fire on a cooldown rather than requiring an event, so this lands passively once you own the pet. Keep valuable crops planted so the proc is never wasted.
Used as fusion material
1 comboVerdant is a component of Paradisal (×60). Check the fusion maths before combining — the bracket formula subtracts one per mutation, so merging is not automatically an upgrade.
Where Verdant sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Dawnlit (×50), worth 5 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Ceramic (×30). If Verdant is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.

Verdant FAQ
How much does the Verdant mutation multiply crop value?
Verdant carries a ×45 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +44. On its own it gives a ×45 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×263.
How do you get the Verdant mutation?
Verdant comes from: Scarlet Macaw ability. It is a Pet mutation, ranked #22 of 45 overall and 4th within its category.
Is Verdant worth farming?
Verdant sits at #22 of 45 with a ×45 multiplier, contributing +44 to the bracket. Rather than judging it alone, note that it feeds Paradisal (×60) — so holding it can be worth more than the multiplier suggests.
Can Verdant stack with other mutations?
Yes. Verdant stacks additively with other environmental mutations using 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, but only one growth tier (Silver, Gold or Rainbow) can apply at a time. Note that Verdant can also be fused into Paradisal.
