Jonathan Green (12006) Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (25 lb)

The Jonathan Green 12001 Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed is a cool season lawn seed that promises to grow in both sun and shade areas. It contains a blend of rye, fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass and is suitable for overseeding lawns. The seed is not coated and has a sharp texture, making it easy to sow. Customer reviews for this product are mixed. Some customers have had great success with the seed, seeing grass growth in less than 10 days and noticing a quick change in their lawn. They appreciate that it fills in spots where grass doesn't grow well and works well in sandy and cracked soil. One customer who planted the seed in northern Utah on a 5000 sq ft area had positive results. However, other customers have experienced disappointing results. One customer mentioned that only about 1/3 of the area they planted sprouted and they had to use three times the amount recommended on the bag to achieve growth. Another customer reported a low germination rate of only 20-30% after following proper seeding and maintenance practices for 33 days. They were particularly let down by the product, as some other customers had experiences on both extremes of the spectrum. Overall, while there are customers who have had success with the Jonathan Green 12001 Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed, the mixed reviews suggest that the product may not Consistently deliver the promised results.
