The best plants to grow for profit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Purple tomatoes before crop mastery, straspberries after mastery.

After you master the greenhouse crops, you can buy them directly from the market, and they cost 10 coins less per seed. These savings compound over time (if you harvest each crop immediately when they're ready, and immediately replant), overall resulting in straspberries being more profitable, if you don't mind playing every 2 hours every day.

Barring that, I'd say purple tomatoes, since nobody wants to play every 2 hours every day.
