Jonathan Green (10880) Black Beauty Sunny Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (7 lb) About Black Beauty Sunny Grass Seed (10880): This grass seed mix contains turfgrass varieties that perform best in full sun to lightly shaded growing conditions due to their ability to tolerate heat and have great drought resistance. These Black Beauty turf-type tall fescues possess a waxy leaf coating, like the skin of an apple, which preserves moisture by limiting evaporation and shielding the grass leaves from turf disease. It performs particularly well on slopes that dry out easily due to water run-off and in lawns with a southern exposure, whereas regular grass seed mixtures succumb to heat and drought stress. This seed produces a dark-green lawn and germinates in 7 to 14 days. About Jonathan Green: We're a supplier of grass seed, soil enhancers, fertilizer, and other lawn care products.
