Farm Buttercups fastest by chaining event quests, forcing the right color mutations, and automating seed acquisition, rather than just casually planting and harvesting.
1. Abuse the Buttercup event quests
During the Buttercup event, plant every Buttercup you have and only harvest the colors required for current quests; leave others in the ground so you do not waste seeds.
Focus on clearing all four quest tiers (easy, medium, hard, and difficult) because each tier gives big Buttercup coin/seed rewards and unlocks Buttercup chests faster.

2. Use mutation tricks to hit color quests fast
Color quests (green, white, black, etc.) count mutations, not just pure-color seeds, so you can speedrun them by using plants that force certain mutations.
3. Farm seeds and shop stock efficiently
When the seed shop is important for Buttercup seeds, park your character at the shop and use an auto‑clicker to refresh and buy seeds while AFK, especially when Buttercup seeds are in limited stock.
Pets like Chimera or Sand Snake can increase the number of seeds you pull from the seed shop, letting you stockpile Buttercups much faster than buying normally.
4. Use Buttercup‑synergy pets and plants
Event pets like the Duplication pet (from Buttercup chests) can duplicate Buttercup rewards and seeds, effectively multiplying your farming rate once unlocked.
Beast Buttercup and other high‑tier Buttercup variants are not primarily for bulk farming, but once you have them, build your garden around their abilities to generate extra Buttercup seeds or coins over time.
5. Keep planting loops running
Run multiple hummingbirds or growth‑boosting pets on staggered timers around Buttercup plots so there is always something ready to harvest for the next quest requirement.
Avoid over‑harvesting: always keep a base stock of Buttercup seeds and a few plots dedicated to "color‑quest farming" so you never run dry when a new event step appears.
