The Asteris is one of the most intriguing and sought-after divine crops in Grow a Garden. Not only is it visually striking, but it also offers strong economic benefits through multi-harvest yields and a consistently high market value. Because it is available only through the Gem Chest—and at an extremely low rate—it has become both a status symbol and a goal for dedicated growers.
This guide covers everything you need to know, including its appearance, drop chance, abilities, stats, yield expectations, and strategic value in your garden.
What Makes the Asteris Special?
The Asteris is categorized as a Divine-tier crop, a classification reserved for rare plants with supernatural traits, extraordinary economic value, and unique biological properties. Divine crops are designed to stand apart from all others through both aesthetics and performance, and the Asteris is no exception.
Its multi-harvest nature also makes it especially rewarding. Once fully grown, players can collect its fruit multiple times before the plant expires, making the initial rarity well worth the investment.
Appearance
The Asteris shares some traits with the Banesberry, but its distinct features make it easy to identify:
- A large, singular eye sits at the top of the fruit, giving it an eerie divine presence.
- The stem is long and slender, and noticeably purple, unlike the Banesberry’s shorter stem.
- The fruit itself has fewer eyes overall, making the main eye the dominant feature.
- Its coloration tends to shift subtly under different lighting, giving it a mystical quality in the garden.
Players often describe it as a crop that “watches back,” adding charm—and a bit of spooky personality—to any plot it occupies.
In Grow a Garden, the divine Asteris stands out as one of the rarest and most valuable crops a player can obtain. With its long purple stem, single watching eye, and rapid multi-harvest cycle, it becomes a powerful addition to any garden setup—especially for players who enjoy managing both crops and grow a garden pets. Since the Asteris can only be acquired from a Gem Chest with a 1% chance, owning one is a mark of dedication and luck, offering high profits and a mystical presence that enriches the atmosphere of your entire garden.
How to Obtain the Asteris
At present, the only way to obtain an Asteris seed is through the Gem Chest. The chance of pulling one is 1%, making it an extremely rare drop.
Practical Advice for Getting One
- Save your Gems: Since the drop rate is low, you may need a large number of Gem Chests.
- Open in bulk: Players often report better emotional outcomes (not statistically better odds!) when opening many chests at once.
- Prepare your garden space: Because the plant is multi-harvest, you’ll want to position it where you can easily check on it frequently.
Even with the low drop rate, the investment pays off due to the Asteris’s high value and repeat harvests.

Growth and Harvesting Details
Growth Cycle
The Asteris has a two-stage growth process:
- Plant Growth Phase (1h 6m 40s)
This is the time needed for the main plant to mature. - Fruit Growth Phase (4m 40s per cycle)
Once matured, the plant produces fruit rapidly—making it one of the quickest divine crops to yield repeated harvests.
Efficiency Tips
- Because the fruit regrows every 4 minutes and 40 seconds, checking the plant frequently maximizes profits.
- Consider placing the Asteris near other fast-cycle plants so you can manage them together.
- If you use boosts or fertilizers, prioritize them on high-value crops like the Asteris for maximum returns.
Economic Value and Profit Potential
The Asteris is one of the most lucrative crops in the game:
- Even its price-floor value (112,812 Sheckles) is extremely high.
- The average selling price of 125,000 Sheckles provides excellent profit margins.
- Its consistent weight range (7–10 kg on average) ensures stable payouts.
- The Huge Chance of 0.29% gives you a small but exciting opportunity for jackpot-size fruit.
With a short fruit regrowth cycle and high value, the Asteris can outperform many other divine crops in terms of profit per hour once it’s planted.
Why You Should Grow an Asteris
Growing an Asteris provides a mix of prestige, gameplay efficiency, and economic advantage:
1. High Rarity
Owning one is a mark of dedication or luck—either way, it’s impressive.
2. Strong Economic Returns
Its high value and rapid regrowth make it one of the most profitable crops in the game.
3. Multi-harvest Utility
Most divine crops don’t offer the repeated yield that the Asteris does.
4. Unique Aesthetic
Nothing else in the garden looks quite like it. Players often build themed “divine sections” featuring the Asteris as the centerpiece.
5. Future Potential
As a divine crop added in late 2025, it may receive special synergies or events in future updates.
The Asteris is a divine crop worth pursuing both for its gameplay utility and its visual charm. Although its 1% seed chance makes it difficult to acquire, players who obtain one gain access to a reliable, high-value, multi-harvest crop that enhances both earnings and garden aesthetics.
