Growing Information

Growing Eclipse Seedless Hybrid Watermelon

‘Eclipse’ is a seedless Sugar Baby-type watermelon prized for its compact growth, early maturity, and sweet flavor. Round fruits develop nearly black rinds surrounding crisp, deep red flesh and are sized especially well for individual or family servings.

Start ‘Eclipse’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ½ to 1 inch deep, space plants 3 to 5 feet apart, and grow in full sun. For best sowing, orient each seed with the pointed end facing down. Its space-efficient growth makes this variety especially well suited to smaller gardens and raised beds. When sowing, place the pointed end of the seed down.

Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they are fully mature and the deep red flesh has reached peak sweetness.

Crisp, refreshing, and seedless, ‘Eclipse’ is excellent for fresh eating.

Pollinator included.

Hard to get germination just have to do it right

I really like these watermelon they taste amazing. All seedless watermelon are hard to get to grow. I maybe have 1 per plant and got 4 to germinate. Delicious.

Avoid this one!

I have a huge garden which has been primarily filled with SnS seeds for many years to great success. I tried the Eclipse watermelon this year..... I'd give it a 0 star if possible. Yellow doll did great (again), Goddess cantaloupe did great (again), Early Dew did fantastic (again, highly recommend this variety!). Sadly, Eclipse did horrible. A couple seeds sprouted but just didn't do anything. Tiny, sickly vines - finally (germination was very poor) - and no fruit. First bad seed variety I've ever bought over many years from SnS.

So far so good.

Seeds germinated in pots kept at 82 degrees. Vines are coming along but it is still too early for the watermelons to develop. Hopefully I will be picking watermelons by the first week of September.

Only ones that germinated were the pollinator seed

None of the seedless watermelon seeds germinated. The only ones that did were the pollinator seed. Yes that's a pic of my garden, I do know what I'm doing....
