Jonathan Green Black Beauty Heat & Drought Resistant Grass Seed - 7 lb

"This is an excellent seed. I planted it on July 1st, right when New York hit 100 degrees. I have been tracking its progress, and it has been doing great. There is only one difference: it grows faster in the shade than in the sun. Today is day 15 since planting, and the grass is 4 inches tall with a 5-inch root system."

We moved to the Carolina’s from Ohio. In Ohio, we had Kentucky Bluegrass and the grass was beautiful. Moving down south, I’m not a fan of the centipede grass. You can hardly tell where you mowed and to be blunt-it’s ugly. I purchased this seed with hopes for our lawn to look like the Kentucky Bluegrass and it does (if not better). The seed sprouted within 7 days and by day 14 the area is absolutely beautiful. I plan on buying another bag to blend in with the centipede grass. Proper prep of the area is crucial along with watering. I aerated the area with our rolling aerator, put down top soil as the base, watered the top soil, spread the seed then dress coated the area with Miracle grow garden soil that I purchased from The Home Depot. The next morning, I watered the area pretty good then continued to water every other day. Water in the morning before 9am is best! The pictures attached were taken on day 09. Buy this seed! It’s 100% amazing! One last thing- I read reviews all the time before I make purchases. I promise that I paid for my bag of seed and was not given a bag to write this 5 star review for you to buy it. Sadly, I haven’t figured out how to be one of those customers who are given items to be tested for good reviews (hahaha)

Waste of money. I bought this to use on my daughter's grave, been hand watering daily unfortunately, zero growth. Even tried using at a small patch at home, no growth. Would not recommend

My lawn was originally seeded with PRye in the spring which came out great until it cooked in the summer heat. I reseeded (overseeded) with JGBB in late August. After a week with very little germination i added leftover Perennial rye to help with fullness, especially to areas that were still sparse after a couple weeks. It worked wonderfully! I don't think the JG seeds would have been enough to cover even an overseeding project. My lawn is only 750 sq ft and this bag definitely came up short. For the price i expected a better outcome without the need to add extra seed. Also, according to the label there are more weeds than usual for a name brand product. Hopefully the little KBG that is in the bag will help fill in bare spots. This was my first year seeding a lawn and the biggest lesson i've learned is to seed in FALL for cool season grasses! Spring seeding was a waste of time, energy and water just to watch the lawn get smoked in the summer heat. I don't think i'd repurchase the JG again unless the price was right. Pics are of before, during and after overseeding.

I bought this blend for a patch in my front yard that gets a lot of sun with basically no shade all day. I did do some heavy aerating and soil prep before I laid the seed. The next few days after it was planted we got some heavy rains for about 5 days off and on. I was afraid it was over watered, but once the sun came out this stuff thrived. I decided to just do my entire front yard and aside from the occasional clover it came out good. I did have to over-seed like crazy. I’m in San Antonio, TX so out of the zone on the back of the bag, but going on 2+ months now. Hopefully the summer doesn’t kill it. Leaving it 4 of 5 stars because no way the bag could cover the area they stated. I needed 3+ bags to according to them should only take 1.

Good product. Better than Scott’s. It grows grass

I can am looking forward to planting this seed this fall.

Yes to this product. Just needs the initial watering or rain for it to take roots 🙏🏻✨

Muy bueno
