Best Farming Strategy for Elephant Ears
While Elephant Ears provides excellent returns, it requires longer grow times, even when using growth tools. Here’s how to maximize its potential:
Use Sprinklers and Growth Boosting Pets
Sprinklers help shorten the lengthy growth cycle but may still not make it efficient for short-term events
Pets like Flamingo (growth boost) or Sea Turtle (wet boost) can indirectly assist with hydration and acceleration
Reserve Plot Space for High-Value Yields
Given its slow regeneration, it’s best to allocate Elephant Ears in dedicated areas of your farm—preferably where you can keep checking regularly or use auto-farming tools
Save for Key Events
Plant Elephant Ears in preparation for high-profit events like Heatwave (Sundried Mutation), which multiplies their already large base value.
Is Elephant Ears Worth Farming?
Despite the long wait, yes—Elephant Ears is one of the most profitable and visually rewarding crops currently available during the Summer Update. Here’s why:
High Sell Value: 80,000 Sheckles per fruit
Multi-harvest capability: One plant yields several fruits over time
Rare drop: Owning one makes your farm stand out
Event synergy: Works well with mutation events like Heatwave or Verdant
Although it doesn’t outperform the now-unavailable Candy Blossom, Elephant Ears is considered the best alternative currently available for players chasing Prismatic-level profits.
Final Thoughts
Elephant Ears is a rare, valuable crop that delivers excellent profit for dedicated players in Grow a Garden. With a low drop rate of 0.5% from free Summer Seed Packs and a higher 7% from Premium Packs, obtaining it requires commitment or investment. Once planted, its slow growth cycle is offset by its multi-harvest nature and high sale value, making it a favorite for long-term profitability. For those looking to replace Candy Blossom or upgrade their summer harvest game, Elephant Ears is a smart and stylish pick.
