How to Get Eclipse Bloom in Grow a Garden 2: Sun Bloom & Moon Bloom Merge Guide, Cost & Eclipsed Mutation Value (2026)

There’s no seed packet for Eclipse Bloom anywhere in Sam’s Seed Shop, no egg that hatches into it, and no code that spawns it on your plot. Yet it’s currently the single most valuable multi-harvest crop in Grow a Garden 2, and every player who’s checked the Seed Shop since mid-July has run into the same wall: two Super-rarity plants sitting side by side with a mysterious “Merge” prompt hovering over them. That prompt is the entire game. Get it right and you walk away with a permanent, self-replenishing Secret-rarity crop. Get it wrong — by harvesting at the wrong moment or planting in a pot — and you’ve thrown away two of the most expensive seeds in Grow a Garden 2 for nothing.

This guide covers exactly what Eclipse Bloom is, the real Sheckle cost of building one, the merge steps in the order that actually works, how long it takes to mature, and whether the 195,000,000 Sheckle price tag pays itself back.

What Is Eclipse Bloom in Grow a Garden 2?

Eclipse Bloom is the first-ever cross-species merge crop added to Grow a Garden 2, and it holds the game’s first Secret rarity slot. Unlike every other plant in the game, it isn’t purchased directly — it’s built by fusing two fully mature parent plants, Sun Bloom and Moon Bloom, into a single new crop.

Visually, it’s easy to spot once you know what you’re looking for: a dark, moon-shaped center ringed by a glowing gold band, sitting on a stem with deep purple, faintly glowing foliage that echoes both parent plants. The fruit itself is styled to look like an actual solar eclipse.

Two things separate it from the plants it’s made from:

• Multi-harvest income — once merged, Eclipse Bloom keeps producing fruit like any other repeat-harvest crop, so the two seeds you spend to create it aren’t a one-time purchase, they’re a permanent upgrade to your farm.
• A weather trigger — harvesting Eclipse Bloom fruit sets off a server-visible Eclipse weather event that can apply the exclusive Eclipsed mutation to nearby crops, which currently carries one of the highest multipliers in the game.

Eclipse Bloom is also a permanent addition to Grow a Garden 2, not a Fall Harvest World exclusive, so there’s no countdown forcing you to rush it before an event closes the way there is with Leaves-based crops in that separate world.

Sun Bloom and Moon Bloom: The Two Ingredients You Actually Need

Before you can even see a merge prompt, both parent plants need to be fully grown and planted directly in your garden soil — not sitting in your inventory, and not in a pot. Here’s what each one costs and how rare it actually is in the shop rotation.

Plant	Rarity	Seed Shop Price	Robux Price	Restock Chance	Avg. Fruit Value
Sun Bloom	Super	110,000,000 Sheckles	1,549 Robux	0.125% (1 in 800)	9,000 Sheckles
Moon Bloom	Super	85,000,000 Sheckles	1,499 Robux	0.35% (7 in 2,000)	9,000 Sheckles
Combined cost	—	195,000,000 Sheckles	—	—	—

A few things worth knowing about each half of the recipe:

Sun Bloom carries no passive ability of its own. It doesn’t apply mutations, doesn’t defend your base, and on its own earns exactly what a plain Moon Bloom earns per fruit. At 110 million Sheckles, it’s currently the fourth most expensive seed in the game, behind only Star Fruit, Dragon’s Breath, and Hypno Bloom. Its entire purpose is to sit next to a mature Moon Bloom and unlock the merge — buying it for any other reason isn’t worth the price.

Moon Bloom is the cheaper and easier-to-find half at a 0.35% restock chance, which is still nearly three times rarer than getting an Amber Cranberry to appear in the Fall Harvest shop. It has one small perk Sun Bloom doesn’t: touching it lowers your character’s gravity briefly, a cosmetic quirk some players use to cross gaps in the map.

Both plants restock through the same shop pool as everything else, so if you already track drops for other rare seeds, you don’t need a separate system for these two.

How to Buy Sun Bloom and Moon Bloom From Sam’s Seed Shop

1. Head to Sam’s Seed Shop at the center of the map — this is the only source for both plants. No pack, egg, or active code substitutes for it.
2. The shop refreshes on a 5-minute global timer, so every server restocks at the same wall-clock time.
3. Check under the Super tier each time the shop rolls over. Because both seeds are low-percentage pulls, expect to check the shop repeatedly across multiple restocks before either one shows up.
4. Buy immediately when either seed appears — Super-tier stock at this price point tends to get bought out fast on populated servers.
5. Keep at least 195,000,000 Sheckles banked ahead of time. Watching the seed you need finally restock and not being able to afford it is the single most common complaint in the community around this merge.

Players who don’t want to sit refreshing the shop by hand generally use a live restock tracker instead and keep farming in the meantime, since AFK-waiting at the shop wastes growth cycles you could be running elsewhere on your plot.

Step-by-Step: How to Merge Sun Bloom and Moon Bloom Into Eclipse Bloom

Once you own both seeds, the actual merge is short — but the order you do things in matters more than anything else on this list.

1. Plant both seeds in open garden soil. Not a pot, not a planter box — bare ground only, or the merge option will never appear.
2. Grow both plants to full maturity. A partially grown Sun Bloom or Moon Bloom won’t trigger anything, even if they’re planted right next to each other.
3. Harvest every fruit currently on both plants first. This is the step people skip. The merge deletes both source plants entirely, and any unharvested fruit disappears along with them.
4. Walk up to either mature plant once both are fully grown and equip your Trowel.
5. Press M to bring up the merge interaction, then confirm the prompt that appears.
6. Both plants fuse on the spot, leaving a single Eclipse Bloom in their place, replantable and ready to start producing fruit of its own.

Common Mistakes That Waste the Merge

A 195,000,000 Sheckle mistake is expensive, so it’s worth knowing exactly what goes wrong for other players:

• Merging before harvesting. Any ripe fruit still on Sun Bloom or Moon Bloom when you confirm the merge is gone for good — there’s no way to recover it after the plants fuse.
• Planting in pots. Potted Sun Bloom or Moon Bloom plants never trigger the merge prompt, even at full maturity. Both need to be in the ground.
• Assuming Eclipse Bloom is tied to Fall Harvest World. It isn’t — this is a main-garden crop, separate from the Leaves-based economy and time-limited content running in that event area, so there’s no rush tied to an event closing.
• Confusing the Eclipsed mutation with Eclipse weather from the original Grow a Garden. These are two unrelated mechanics in two separate games. Eclipse Bloom and the Eclipsed mutation only exist in Grow a Garden 2.

How Long Does Eclipse Bloom Take to Fully Grow?

This is the part that catches most players off guard. Eclipse Bloom is one of the slowest-growing crops added to the game so far, and community testing has landed on a rough benchmark: expect to need somewhere around 50+ Super Watering Cans to push a freshly merged Eclipse Bloom to full maturity. Without watering can support, growth can stretch into days or even weeks of real time.

A few practical notes from players who’ve tracked this closely:

• Watering cans only speed up active growth — once the plant is fully mature, they stop doing anything, so there’s no benefit to stockpiling them after the fact.
• Some players have reported a freshly merged Eclipse Bloom appearing to ignore Super Watering Cans entirely. This looks like a server-sync bug rather than an intended mechanic, and rejoining the server is the fix most players report working.
• If you’re chasing a bigger harvest yield, pairing size-boosting pets or sprinklers on both parent plants before the merge finishes maturing carries the size bonus over, since size boosts only apply while a plant is actively growing.

Eclipse Weather and the Eclipsed Mutation Explained

Harvesting fruit off a fully grown Eclipse Bloom doesn’t just add Sheckles to your balance — it triggers a server-visible Eclipse weather event that lasts roughly two minutes. During that window, nearby crops have a chance to receive the Eclipsed mutation, currently one of the strongest multipliers in Grow a Garden 2 at roughly ×80, ahead of Bloodlit and Glow at ×70 and well above the Veil mutation carried by pets like Shadow Dragon at ×50.

That makes Eclipse Bloom worth planting near your other high-value multi-harvest crops rather than off in an isolated corner of your plot — every harvest becomes a chance to boost whatever’s growing nearby, not just the Eclipse Bloom itself.

Is Eclipse Bloom Worth the 195,000,000 Sheckle Investment?

On paper, running Sun Bloom and Moon Bloom side by side without merging them earns identical income to running two separate 9,000-Sheckle-average crops — nothing special. The entire case for spending 195 million Sheckles rests on what the merge produces:

• Eclipse Bloom’s fruit averages roughly 12,000 Sheckles, higher than either parent plant sells for on its own.
• It’s multi-harvest, meaning the 195 million Sheckles you spend gets consumed once and then pays back indefinitely, rather than being a single-use purchase.
• The Eclipsed mutation chance adds ongoing value to your entire nearby garden, not just to Eclipse Bloom’s own fruit.

Because of that math, this isn’t a purchase for early or mid-game players. Anyone still working toward their first few Super-tier seeds should build their core economy first — a Hypno Bloom, a couple of Dragon’s Breath, whatever your farm’s foundation looks like — before committing nearly 200 million Sheckles to a plant that takes weeks to fully mature. Late-game players sitting on spare capital, on the other hand, get a permanent income boost that keeps compounding long after the initial spend.

Protecting Your Investment While You Wait

A near-200-million-Sheckle plant sitting exposed on an open server is exactly the kind of target that draws raiders, especially during the long maturation window Eclipse Bloom needs. Basic garden defense — fencing, pets with a guarding ability, or simply not leaving mature high-value crops unattended for long stretches — matters more here than on almost any other crop in the game, since losing a stolen Eclipse Bloom mid-grind means rebuilding the entire 195-million-Sheckle merge from scratch.
