Jonathan Green (10514) Black Beauty Heat & Drought Resistant Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (3 lb)

Not sure why people didn't have much luck with, it worked great for me. I prepped the dirt, laid the seeds, covered with a roll of straw and watered daily. They were sprouting grass within 4 days. It worked so good I bought it again for an area that used to be a garden and it is already thick and I laid it down a week ago. I have used three other types of seeds and had terrible luck. It was recommended by a landscaping business so i gave it a try. I wish I did a before and after to show but, it works great as long as you cover it and water it daily.

Jonathan Green is an awesome product. No weed seed in their packaging. A product grows quickly when following directions, and lasts.

I was really excited to try the Black Beauty Heat and Drought grass seed, but unfortunately, it’s been a big disappointment. I followed all the directions carefully — prepared the soil, watered consistently, and made sure it got plenty of sunlight. It’s been over two weeks, and absolutely nothing has sprouted. Not even a hint of green. For a product that’s supposed to handle heat and drought, I expected at least some results by now. Very frustrating and a waste of time and money being that I purchased 2 bags separately.

Grass grew good with these seeds for Northeast region.

Germination is a little slower than the original blend so be prepared for that. Could take 3-4 weeks before they sprout. The yard is full now. It’s not better than the original blend. It looks good but the blades are not as plush or dark green.
