In the latest Friendship Update, the developers have introduced two new mutations to the base game called Heavenly and Dawnbound. While the heavenly mutations are applied to the plants in your garden during the Sun God Event, nobody knows how to get the Dawnbound Mutation, which is also acquired during the same event. For all those confused players, here is a detailed guide on the subject.
How to obtain the Dawnbound Mutation in Grow A Garden

The Dawnbound is a unique Mutation that is only applied to the Sunflowers in the game. To acquire this mutation, you and three of your friends/random players must hold a Sunflower before the Sun at the northern edge of the map during the Sun God Event. If you do this correctly, the Sun God will strike lightning on all four Sunflowers, providing you with the Dawnbound Mutation.
When does the Sun God Event occur in Grow A Garden?
The Sun God is an Admin Event in Grow A Garden, which can be triggered at any time within the game. There is no fixed schedule, like the Moon or Rain Event, that occurs every 30 minutes to 4 hours in the game. The best way to know the next Sun God Event is to follow the Grow A Garden Discord, where they share details about the next Admin Events.
What is the Dawnbound Mutation in Grow A Garden?

The Dawnbound Mutation will completely change your Sunflower into a golden-yellow color that is extremely shiny and difficult to look at. Although it may not look great, it increases the base price of your Sunflower by up to 150 times, making it one of the rarest and best mutations in the experience.
