Jonathan Green Black Beauty Heat & Drought Resistant Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (3 lb)

Overview

Jonathan Green Black Beauty Heat & Drought Resistant Grass Seed is a cool-season blend designed for resilient, lush lawns. It pairs tall fescue with Texas bluegrass to deliver a turf that stays green and dense through warm days and varied light conditions.

In practice, this mix can create a visible, emerald carpet that feels soft underfoot after rain and thrives with thoughtful maintenance. The combination is engineered to balance color, texture, and resilience without requiring constant attention.

Key benefits at a glance

• Heat tolerance up to 100°F helps maintain color and density during hot periods
• Drought resistance thanks to a waxy leaf coating that slows evaporation
• Deep roots up to 4 feet support stability in sunny and shady spots
• Dark green, dense turf that enhances curb appeal

Optimal growing conditions

This cool-season mix performs well from full sun to light shade. By combining Texas bluegrass with tall fescue, it adapts to changing light and helps create a robust lawn with strong root support.

How to use and care

Best results come from sowing in mid-August to mid-October or mid-March through mid-May. A 3 lb bag will seed up to 750 sq ft for new lawns and up to 1,500 sq ft for overseeding. Germination typically occurs in 14–21 days under proper moisture.

Care after sowing

• Keep soil evenly moist until germination
• Gradually reduce watering as seedlings establish and roots deepen
• Mow to encourage density and a uniform blade height
• Avoid heavy traffic until the lawn is well established
