All Crops
Starsand Island has over 67 plantable crops spanning vegetables, grains, fruits, flowers, wild plants, and specialty items. Each crop has a designated growing season, a specific growth time, and a planting requirement. Some need standard farmland, others need a Trellis, Paddy Field, or Planting Box.
Crops unlock as you advance through the Farming profession tiers with Graminova at the Happiness Seed Shop. Seeds are available for purchase year-round regardless of the current season, so you can stockpile before a season begins. Wild crops are obtained by foraging seeds from the overworld, chests, and the Moonlit Forest rather than purchasing them from the shop.
This page covers every crop in the game organized by Farmer certification tier, along with fruit tree saplings, flowers for cross-breeding, wild foraged crops, Gmax giant crop mutations, fertilizers, and endgame Immortal (Everlasting) seeds.
Season Basics
Each season lasts 28 in-game days. The cycle is Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.
Crops only grow during their designated season(s). Planting outside the correct season means the crop will not progress.
Growth time is real-time from the moment you plant, not based on day-by-day cycles. A crop with an 18-hour growth time starts counting the moment the seed goes in the ground.
Twelve purchasable crops are "All Season" and can grow year-round: Pasture Grass, Wheat, Garlic, Potato, Mountain Rice, Cucumber, Peanut, Soybean, Sugarcane, Rice, Mandrake, and Stardew Fern. All wild/foraged crops are also all-season.
Everlasting (immortal) seeds ignore season restrictions entirely. See the Immortal Seeds section below.

Planting Types
Crop | Details |
|---|---|
Farmland | Standard tilled soil. Most crops grow here. Till with a hoe, plant, water. |
Trellis | Required for vine crops (Cucumber, Pepper, Tomato, Grapes, Cherry Tomato, Honeyvine, Star Plum, Jadelume). Unlocked via the "Natural Delicacies" quest during Apprentice Farmer. Trellises auto-till the ground when placed, so do not pre-till before placing one. Trellis crops yield 2 per harvest and can be harvested multiple times. |
Paddy Field | Required for water crops (Water Spinach, Sugarcane, Rice, Corn, Water Caltrop, River Lotus, King Water Chestnut, Zapweed). Flooded planting area. |
Planting Box | Unlocked at Junior Farmer. Allows growing crops anywhere, including inside buildings. Required for Garlic and Reishi Mushroom; optional for most other crops. |
Tree | Fruit tree saplings are planted on standard farmland. They take significantly longer to grow but produce unlimited harvests once mature. |

Wild and Foraged Crops
Wild crops have a seed cost of 0g because their seeds cannot be purchased from the Happiness Seed Shop. Instead, seeds and spores are found by foraging the overworld, opening treasure chests, or exploring the Moonlit Forest. All wild crops grow in All Seasons and are planted on standard Farmland. Despite costing nothing to acquire, many of these plants have solid sell prices, making them excellent passive income once you have a stash of seeds.

Gmax (Giant) Crops
Four crops can mutate into giant versions when planted in a 3x3 grid (9 seeds of the same type). Growing a Gmax crop is required for the Intermediate Farmer certification.
Gmax Crop | Season | Seed Cost (per seed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Gmax Pineapple | Spring | 200g | Spring is the only season for this Gmax. |
Gmax Watermelon | Summer | 200g | Most popular Gmax due to Summer crop availability. |
Gmax Pumpkin | Autumn | 200g | Required for Intermediate Farmer certification. |
Gmax Winter Melon | Winter | 200g | Only Gmax option during Winter. |
How to Grow Gmax Crops
Plant 9 seeds of the same type in a 3x3 grid on farmland.
Water all 9 plots. The seeds do not need to finish growing at the same time to trigger the mutation.
Mutation is not guaranteed. Some players report needing 3 to 4 attempts.
Use Gmax Fertilizer III (Intermediate Farmer, 320g per 5 bags) to boost mutation chance by 15%. Only one plot in the 3x3 grid needs the fertilizer.
Gmax Fertilizer cannot be combined with other fertilizer types on the same plot.
Harvest the giant crop with an Axe (multiple hits), not by hand. It produces more items than 9 individual crops would.
Fertilizers
Fertilizers are purchased from the Happiness Seed Shop or crafted in a Fertilizer Box (blueprint from the shop). Apply by equipping in your hotbar and using on a planted plot.
Fertilizer | Unlock Tier | Cost (per 5) | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
Ripening Fertilizer I | Apprentice | 15g | Instantly advances growth by 8 hours. |
Yield Fertilizer I | Apprentice | 120g | Increases harvest yield by 50% at maturity. |
Ripening Fertilizer II | Junior | 60g | Instantly advances growth by 13 hours. |
Yield Fertilizer II | Junior | 780g | Increases harvest yield by 150% at maturity. |
Ripening Fertilizer III | Intermediate | 180g | Instantly advances growth by 25 hours. |
Gmax Fertilizer III | Intermediate | 320g | Increases Gmax mutation chance by 15%. Cannot stack with other fertilizers. |
Nutrient Soil IV | Senior | 250g | Boosts flower pollination by 15%. Can stack with other fertilizers. |
Seed Sources
Happiness Seed Shop (Graminova)
Location: Starsand Town, across from Zerine's General Store.
Open 10 AM to 9 PM.
Interact with the cash register to browse seeds (no need to talk to Graminova directly).
Seeds are available year-round. You can buy Summer seeds in Winter and stockpile.
New seeds unlock at each Farmer certification tier.

Grinder (Senior Farmer)
Converts harvested crops back into seeds.
Slow processing time. Build multiple Grinders for bulk conversion.
Eliminates the need to buy seeds from the shop once you reach Senior Farmer.
Other Sources
Foraging and chopping trees or shrubs can yield wild seeds.
Treasure Chests on the surface island and in the Moonlit Forest contain seeds.
Islandpedia completion rewards include some Everlasting Seeds for free.
Immortal (Everlasting) Seeds
Immortal seeds are the endgame of farming. Crops grown from them continue producing indefinitely after each harvest without replanting, and they ignore season restrictions so they grow year-round.
Crop | Details |
|---|---|
Eternal Blessings skill | Senior Farmer perk. Every harvest has a passive chance of dropping an Everlasting Seed. |
Creamy Seeds buff | Eating Mirthshroom Soup (recipe found in a Moonlit Forest chest) grants a temporary buff that increases the chance of dropping immortal seeds when harvesting. |
Islandpedia rewards | Some given for free when completing plant entries. |
If you remove an immortal crop (dig it up), the Everlasting Seed is returned to your inventory. | -- |
Multi-Harvest vs Single-Harvest
Crop | Details |
|---|---|
Multi-harvest | All Trellis crops (Cucumber, Pepper, Green Grape, Tomato, Red Grape, Cherry Tomato, Honeyvine, Star Plum, Jadelume). These yield 2 per harvest and can be harvested multiple times from one planting. |
Single-harvest | Most standard farmland and Paddy Field crops (Wheat, Potato, Watermelon, Corn, etc.). These yield 4 per harvest, then you must replant. |
Unlimited harvest | All fruit trees. Once mature, trees produce fruit repeatedly without replanting. |
Everlasting | Any crop grown from an Immortal Seed. Never needs replanting regardless of crop type. |
Crop Processing
The Separator instantly turns raw crops into cooking base ingredients. Most cooking recipes require processed ingredients rather than raw crops.
Input | Output | Used In |
|---|---|---|
Wheat | Flour | Noodles, dumplings, toast, bread recipes |
Sugarcane | Sugar | Jams, desserts, sweet dishes |
Vegetables | Vegetable Juice | Various cooked vegetable dishes |
Fruits | Fruit Pulp | Jams, desserts, fruit salads |
Meat | Meat Bites | Meat-based recipes |
Fish | Fish Fillet | Sushi, grilled fish, stews |
Protein Powder | Specialty recipes and feed |
The Brewing Barrel ferments crops into liquid ingredients (Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Wine). The Jam Maker combines fruit + sugar into 15+ jam varieties. The Pickling Jar combines vegetables + salt into 8 pickled goods.

Profit Analysis by Tier
The following table shows the profit per harvest (sell price minus seed cost) for single-harvest crops. Multi-harvest crops are even more profitable since you only pay the seed cost once. Fruit trees are excluded since they produce unlimited harvests.
Tier | Best Profit Crop | Profit per Harvest | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Starter | Sunflower | 37g (4 x 23g = 92g sell, minus 55g seed) | Summer/Autumn crop. Sweet Potato ties at 37g in Spring/Summer. For all-season, Wheat returns 14g and produces Flour. |
Apprentice | Cucumber | 169g+ (2 harvests x 2 x 66g = 264g, minus 95g) | Multi-harvest makes it the best early earner by far. |
Junior | Watermelon | 324g (4 x 131g = 524g, minus 200g) | Summer only. Pumpkin/Winter Melon match this in other seasons. |
Intermediate | Strawberry | 430g (4 x 165g = 660g, minus 230g) | Spring/Winter crop. Corn returns 430g too. |
Senior | River Lotus | 820g (4 x 310g = 1,240g, minus 420g) | Autumn/Winter Paddy Field crop. |
Expert | King Water Chestnut / Zapweed | 1,582g (4 x 593g = 2,372g, minus 790g) | Tied. Paddy Field crops. Highest raw profit in the game. |
Tips
Cucumber is the best early money crop. It is all-season, multi-harvest, and sells for 66g per unit (or 127g as Smashed Cucumber). Plant a row of trellises and never look back.
Build sprinklers as soon as you hit Junior Farmer. Manual watering is the biggest stamina drain in the early game.
Always cook crops before selling. Stir-Fried Water Spinach (90g) is worth more than 3 raw Water Spinach (72g total). See the cooking recipes page for profitable dishes.
Grow Red Grapes and Green Grapes. Their juices provide the Bonus Timber and Bonus Ore buffs, which are some of the best buffs in the game.
Use Ripening Fertilizer to speed up long-growth crops like fruit trees and Expert-tier plants. A single application of Ripening III skips 25 hours of growth time.
Start your Gmax crop attempt early in the season. You may need 3 to 4 tries, and each 3x3 grid takes 4 days to grow.
Keep Mirthshroom Soup in your inventory when harvesting. The Creamy Seeds buff gives a chance at Immortal Seeds on every harvest.
Buy seeds for the next season during the current one. The Happiness Seed Shop sells all seeds year-round.
Build multiple Jam Makers. Jams sell for 10 to 50 percent more than raw fruit, and multiple makers running in parallel are a reliable passive income source.
Save your best produce for the Merchant Ship when it arrives. It buys at 200% value, doubling the normal sell price.
Plant Bumblebee hives next to your crops for a significant growth speed boost. Combined with sprinklers, this makes farming almost entirely passive.
Wild crop seeds cost nothing. If you find Fluffweave, Plainberry, or Spirit Fruit seeds, plant them immediately since every harvest is pure profit.
