Eclipse Weather Grow a Garden 2 Guide: How to Trigger It and What It Does
Eclipse Weather is one of the rarest weather events in Grow a Garden 2. Unlike Rain, Lightning, or Rainbow Weather, this event doesn’t occur naturally. Instead, players must create and harvest a special crop called the Eclipse Bloom to activate it. If you’re trying to unlock the exclusive Eclipsed mutation or simply want to learn how Eclipse Weather works, this guide explains everything you need to know.

What Is Eclipse Weather?
Eclipse Weather is a player-triggered weather event introduced alongside the Eclipse Bloom crop. Once activated, the entire server enters a unique eclipse-themed weather state for a short period, giving crops the opportunity to receive the exclusive Eclipsed mutation. Unlike standard weather events that appear randomly, Eclipse Weather can only begin after harvesting an Eclipse Bloom. Here are its basic details:
- Duration: 2 minutes
- Activation Method: Harvest an Eclipse Bloom
- Main Reward: Chance to apply the Eclipsed mutation to crops
Because it requires a Secret crop to activate, Eclipse Weather is considered one of the game’s most exclusive farming events.
How to Trigger Eclipse Weather
The only way to activate Eclipse Weather is by harvesting an Eclipse Bloom. Once the crop is harvested, the weather immediately changes across the server and remains active for approximately two minutes.
During this time, beams of light periodically strike the ground while eligible crops have a chance to receive the Eclipsed mutation. If you want to maximize the event, it’s a good idea to prepare your farm before harvesting the Eclipse Bloom so as many crops as possible can benefit.
What Does Eclipse Weather Do?
The primary purpose of Eclipse Weather is to apply the Eclipsed mutation to crops. Although not every crop will receive the mutation, the weather periodically attempts to mutate eligible plants throughout its duration. During the event you’ll notice:
- A dark violet-blue sky.
- A solar eclipse covering the sun.
- Bright beams of light striking random areas.
- Opportunities for crops to gain the Eclipsed mutation.
Because the event lasts only two minutes, timing is important if you’re planning a large harvest.
What Is the Eclipse Bloom?
The Eclipse Bloom is a Secret-rarity, multi-harvest crop added in Update 1.16.0. Unlike most crops, it isn’t purchased directly from a seed shop. Instead, players must combine two existing plants to create it. Eclipse Bloom information:
- Rarity: Secret
- Multi-Harvest: Yes
- Currently Obtainable: Yes
- Added: July 12, 2026
Since it can be harvested multiple times, a single Eclipse Bloom can provide repeated opportunities to trigger Eclipse Weather.
Eclipse Bloom Value
The Eclipse Bloom is also valuable as a farming crop. Its approximate statistics include:
- Floor Value: 10,830 Sheckles
- Average Value: 12,000 Sheckles
- Average Weight: 9 kg
- Minimum Weight: 6.3 kg
Like many high-tier crops, its final selling price can increase further depending on mutations and other in-game bonuses.
How to Get the Eclipse Bloom
Creating an Eclipse Bloom requires two fully grown plants and a Trowel.
Follow these steps:
- Grow a fully matured Sun Bloom.
- Grow a fully matured Moon Bloom.
- Equip a Trowel.
- Merge both mature plants together.
After merging them successfully:
- Both original plants disappear.
- A new Eclipse Bloom is created.
It’s important to note that this process only works with fully grown plants.
Eclipse Weather is one of the most unique weather events in Grow a Garden 2 because players control exactly when it begins. By harvesting a Secret-rarity Eclipse Bloom, you can activate a two-minute Eclipse event that gives crops a chance to receive the exclusive Eclipsed mutation while transforming the sky with dramatic eclipse visuals. Since the Eclipse Bloom is a reusable multi-harvest crop, it’s an excellent addition for players who enjoy farming rare mutations and boosting the value of high-tier crops over time.
