Jonathan Green (10323) Black Beauty Ultra Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (25 lb)

A little pricey but the lawn gets a lot of compliments because it wildly stands out against other lawns. I overseeded with this just 6 weeks ago in the early spring knowing full well that weeds also thrive during this time when seeding (fall is the best time- weeds don’t thrive as much when seeding in the fall).I pre-germinated the seeds (after watching YouTube tutorials). Definitely helped with the yield and speed. I put this down with milorganite (doesn’t burn seedlings).The sun is trying to do a number on it but my watering schedule is keeping it going. Overall not too shabby.

My lawn got thick. Having to cut it twice a weekBut worth it. The grass on my lawn now looks uniform. Will continue use.

Grass grew in 7 days without any weeds. Organic lawn soil works great with the grass seeds as well.I’m so happy 😃

I believe that is a great option to overseed your lawns and fill in holes. The color is deep so spread it evenly across the entire area. Good price for the quantity..

The media could not be loaded. I will never buy this seed again. Nothing but weeds have come up. Everywhere i put the seed these weeds came up and none of the grass. I watered it like i should of. I fed it like it said. No where else in my yard do i have these weeds. Ive never even seen them before. And now im infested with them. And its going to cost me more money and more time to deal with them. Very unhappy.

Had a couple dead trees cut down that left this huge bare spot. I've tried other types of grass seed in the past for smaller bare spots that never seen to hold up or grow at all so wanted to try something a little more premium. It's been about 2 months since I planted the grass and it came up really nice! There are a few spots that it seems to not be growing or growing very slowly so just will need to do another seeding in the fall. Over all very happy with the grass! Will try to provide an update later in the year

Beautifull dark green grass , very nice

Marvelous grass seed. My large lawn needed a spring refresh and a bit of patch repair after the winter weather. In my research for grass seed, finding quality uncoated seed at an acceptable price was a bit of a challenge.Black Beauty Ultra has the right mix of grasses, it is not coated, it has a high germination rate, and a very low weed percentage. Although a bit spendy, the 25lb. bag is the best value. From my results, I found this product to be an absolute winner!As a cost-cutting measure, most major brand grass seeds available from the big box stores are coated with a green spray-on clay coating. This is marketed as an aid to germination, but frankly it is not nearly as effective as advertised. The industry is well aware that clay coating is far cheaper than grass seed per pound. The clay adds lots of weight to the bag... but does little to retain moisture.In my experience with patching and reseeding lawns, doing this during moderate spring weather is ideal and avoids the intense heat of summer and poor germination rates. The best results have come from first checking the soil pH and adjusting accordingly. Then, rake up the thatch on bare spots and lay down enough seed to fully cover the patch. Thoroughly cover the reseeded bare spots with a quality potting soil or topsoil. This is important... and works much better than a spray-on clay coating on the grass seed.Keep the area frequently watered throughout the day for at least two weeks until growth is established. While germinating, do not let the seeded area dry out and do not walk on or mow while the new seedlings are beginning to grow. Wait about four to six weeks after reseeding before mowing.Once mowed, fertilize with a low to moderate nitrogen lawn fertilizer. Newly planted grass is a bit sensitive for the first 3-4 months and can burn easily if stressed by high nitrogen fertilizers.It is now eight weeks since patching and reseeding my lawn with Black Beauty Ultra. The patches are completely filled in and the entire yard is evenly green, vibrant, and very attractive. Check out this excellent grass seed for yourself. You'll be glad you did.
