Product Overview

I have recently had the pleasure of trying out Jonathan Green Black Beauty Dense Shade Grass Seed and I must say that I am extremely impressed with the product. Not only does it provide excellent coverage, but the grass is incredibly dark green and lush. My lawn has never looked better!

The product comes with four cool season grasses: turf type tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial rye, and fine fescues. This makes it very versatile, as it can be used in shady to partial sun lawns. The 3 lb bag will seed up to 900 sq. ft. for a new lawn or up to 1,800 sq. ft. for overseeding. For best results, it should be applied between mid August to mid October or mid March through mid May.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly this product germinated and established itself in my lawn. Within 14 21 days, I started to see significant growth and my lawn was looking much healthier than before. I was also impressed by its shade tolerant properties even when there were big trees or large shrubs present in my yard, the grass still managed to thrive!

Overall, I would highly recommend Jonathan Green Black Beauty Dense Shade Grass Seed for anyone looking to achieve a beautiful dark green lawn. It is easy to use and provides excellent coverage perfect for those who want an attractive turf without having to put in too much effort or time into maintaining it. Plus, its shade tolerant properties make it ideal for areas where sunlight is limited. All in all, this is an exceptional product that I would not hesitate to purchase again!
