FarmVille 2 Crop Packets: Everything you need to know

If you've already mastered all of the crops that are currently available in the FarmVille 2 marketplace, you might be looking for something new to conquer. In comes the new "Crop Packets" feature to fill that gap in your life, as players are now allowed to purchase premium crop licenses and mastery crops that aren't otherwise available for planting.

So far, there are only two Crop Packets available for purchase: a Hibiscus Packet, and a Honeysuckle Packet. Both cost 15 Farm Bucks each, and both give you the ability to plant these flowers for two weeks. Both of these crops come with their own set of exclusive crafting recipes, and they can be grown and sold as normal crops. Here's the complete breakdown:

Hibiscus
Harvest Time: 2 hours
Can be sold for: 75 coins each
Can be turned into: 7 Animal Feed
XP Gained: 4

Honeysuckle
Harvest Time: 4 hours
Can be sold for: 77 coins each
Can be turned into: 7 Animal Feed
XP Gained: 4
This Honeysuckle can be used in three recipes as well: Honeysuckle Ice Cream, Honeysuckle Wreath, and Honeysuckle Oil.

These Crop Packets look to be permanent additions to the store, so if you don't completely master the crop the first time you purchase a Packet, you can always purchase it again later down the line. This likely also won't be the last time Crop Packets are released in the game, so we'll make sure to let you know when additional exclusive crops are released. Keep your wallet at the ready.
