Jonathan Green Black Beauty Heavy Traffic Grass Seed – Cool Season Lawn Seed (3 lb)

Rugged, resilient turf for busy spaces

Jonathan Green Black Beauty Heavy Traffic is a cool-season grass seed blend designed to stand up to frequent foot traffic from families, athletes, and pets. This seed mix combines tall fescues with perennial rye turfgrass to create a durable, dark-green lawn that can stay vibrant under varied use and weather. Rather than a delicate single variety, this blend emphasizes steady performance, even under dense activity, while delivering a lawn that feels substantial under bare feet and looks inviting after rain or mowing.
