Jonathan Green (12004) Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (15 lb)

I used this seed on a new section of my lawn that I built up for drainage purposes. I had growth within a week and a nice lawn after two weeks. My neighbor was astounded! The color is deep and looks great.

I planted this seed about 3 weeks ago, and I can see the blades coming up... it's not totally grown out yet, but I'm pleased. The blades are very straight and narrow compared to what most people grow around here - which is fescue.Focus on where you can see the grass in the pics. There is grass growing everywhere, but given the lighting, only the 'patches' that are really concentrated can be seen in the picture. But when you walk around and see it in person, there are blades everywhere. It looks very promising.I will revisit this review after 3 months, when the lawn should be fully, fully grown out. But for those who want to see what this looks like 20-25 days after planting, and even after very strong storms, here are some pics.

This grass seed is pretty good. The growth rate is OK and the grass looks great once it starts growing. It is sometimes a little hard to get started and wants to die, but if you consistently water and use good topsoil you’ll be good. The price on this seat is very good compared to local hardware store stores.

I’ve had issues with my grass growing in and handling the sun and shade along with heat. I used Scott’s grass seeds and didn’t really do much. A friend of mine uses this product and his lawn looked amazing. So I purchased this grass seed and it has grown and look lush, green and full. I seed once a year to keep my grass thick to block out weeds and heat from burning the roots. I had a lot of bold spots and this did the trick. Great quality and price I would recommend to anyone and I am going to continue using this product.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but.....I have been using grass seed for about 35 years. A buddy of mine recommended this seed. I thatched, put down soil, seeded and tamped an approximately 200 sq ft area 3 weeks ago. Not 1 seed has popped yet. A 100% absolute failure so far, I could not be more disappointed for the price I paid. I would've rather paid the same price at home depot for double or triple the amount of seed I got to fail. Be aware, this was an absolute waste of my time, effort and $.

Best seed I've ever used in many, many years. Recommended to me by a local nursery. Mix this with some soil before you put it down, top with peat moss, and water twice a day. You'll see the green pop up in less than a week. But don't stop watering then. Those little blades of grass need continuous watering for 2-3 weeks after that. Jonathan Green are my go-to products for all my lawn care. You won't be disappointed.

Where is my order? Supposed to have been delivered by 10/16/24.

This grass seed germinated within 2 days! I used it to fill in bare spots and erosion areas. I was truly surprised at the quality and value. My father-in-law used this seed years ago and was happy with the quick results too. I would recommend this to anyone. Great value.
