Description
Black Beauty® Dense Shade Grass Seed by Jonathan Green is specially designed for lawns that receive limited sunlight. This premium grass seed blend grows well in areas shaded by mature trees, large shrubs, fences, or buildings. It helps fill in thin, patchy areas and creates a thicker, greener lawn where other grass seed struggles to grow.
This shade-tolerant mix contains tall fescues, fine fescues, and perennial ryegrass for strong performance in medium to heavy shade. Black Beauty® Dense Shade germinates in about 14–21 days and produces a durable lawn with rich green color. It’s an excellent choice for improving dark corners of your yard or establishing new grass in difficult shaded areas.
