Flower Tier List

Flowers are the foundation of every successful Grow a Beehive garden. You cannot purchase bees from a shop menu. Instead, each planted seed spawns a flower that attracts exactly one bee species with fixed Speed and Carry stats. That means your flower choice is really a bee choice, and picking the wrong seed wastes plot space, shop restock opportunities, and hours of growth time. This tier list ranks every flower from S-tier meta staples down to D-tier tutorial plants so you know precisely which seeds to chase during each five-minute shop rotation.

Rankings account for more than sticker price. We evaluate the paired bee's Speed and Carry, how quickly the flower matures, whether the seed appears in regular shop stock or requires codes and events, and how the flower fits into a sensible mid-game upgrade path. A Rare Tulip costs $200 but delivers an A-tier Tulip Bee that carries players through much of the mid-game. Meanwhile, Common Daisies belong in D-tier because their bees cannot scale once your garden spans multiple rows. Cross-check raw numbers anytime on the complete flowers database or compare attracted bees on the bee tier list.

Placement amplifies tier value. Even an S-tier Cactus underperforms when planted at the far edge of your plot. Bees travel in straight lines between hive and flower, so distance directly reduces trips per minute. After buying higher-tier seeds, always replant them in the slots closest to your beehive. Our flower placement guide explains optimal layouts, and the honey calculator quantifies how much travel time costs you.
