Jonathan Green Black Beauty Shady Nooks Grass Seed

Description

Grow a lush lawn where grass usually struggles with Jonathan Green Black Beauty Shady Nooks Grass Seed — the most shade-tolerant turfgrass mixture in the Black Beauty line. This proprietary blend of Black Beauty turf-type tall fescues and hard fescues survives and thrives in deeply shaded areas, in either damp or dry soil, right up to the base of trees where other grass seed fails. It needs less water and fertilizer than competitors’ mixtures and germinates in about two weeks. Choose the 3 lb bag for overseeding smaller shady spots or the 7 lb bag for larger areas.

• Turf-type tall & hard fescue blend: Naturally dark green with a uniform, vertical growth habit.

How to Use
