Cardinal is a pet and one of five pets available in Grow a Garden’s Fairy Update expansion, added on September 6, 2025. If you’re hoping to add Cardinal to your collection, here’s a breakdown of all the important information you need to know, the chances of getting it, its rarity, and what its unique abilities are.
How to Get a Cardinal in Grow a Garden
The Cardinal is a pet that’s exclusive to the Enchanted Chest in Grow a Garden. It’s also a Common pet with a 34.5% chance of appearing from this chest. This makes it the most likely pet you’ll get from this chest, even though it’s tied with the Emerald Bud seed.
How to Get an Enchanted Chest
You can get an Enchanted Chest in the following two ways:
During the Fairy Event expansion update, you can enter the Fairy World through a Fairy Ring portal. You can then buy an Enchanted Chest from the Luminous Sprite, near the center of the Fairy World. They’ll only sell it to you once you’ve caught enough fairies to unlock it. It’ll also cost 15,000 Fairy Points to buy. The second method likely to be more common is crafting an Enchanted Chest at the green fairy crafting table. This is back on the normal island, near the center, where the Fairy Godmother is. You’ll need 1 Sunbulb, 1 Enchanted Seed Pack, 1 Enchanted Egg, and 6,000 Fairy Points.What Does a Cardinal Do in Grow a Garden?
The Cardinal has the unique ability to make all Magical-type plants grow 1.63x faster. This number may vary slightly depending on the age of your Cardinal. Some examples of Magical plants include the Mandrake, Aurao Vine, Fossilight, and Spirit Flower.
