‘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.
