Learn how to get the Cardinal pet in Grow a Garden and see what its passive ability does for magical plants.
The Cardinal is a common pet added during the second half of the Fairy Event in Grow a Garden. Styled after the real red cardinal bird, this pet has bright red feathers, black markings, and yellow legs and beak. While it looks great, its passive ability is fairly niche. The Cardinal boosts the growth rate of magical-type plants, which makes it most useful during the Fairy Event.
Below, we’ll break down its stats, how to get it, and whether it’s worth keeping long-term.

Is the Cardinal Pet Worth It?
The Cardinal is only situationally useful. Its bonus makes magical seeds grow faster, which is handy during the Fairy Event when you need crops ready for glimmering mutation. However, outside of the event, it becomes less practical compared to pets like the Pixie, which benefits all crops. Still, if you enjoy collecting pets or like the bird design, the Cardinal is a nice addition to your farm.
