Description
Black Beauty® Sunny Grass Seed by Jonathan Green is designed for lawns with full sun exposure, offering exceptional heat and drought resistance. Featuring a specialized blend of tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass, this mix thrives in high-sun areas like southern exposures and sloped yards where water retention is limited. The turf-type tall fescues include a natural waxy leaf coating—similar to an apple skin—that helps retain moisture and protect against disease.
Perfect for dry, sun-drenched lawns, Black Beauty® Sunny quickly establishes in 7–14 days and maintains lush, green coverage even during summer stress. For optimal growth and moisture retention, use with our Rooted Goods Top Soil and fertilizers at seeding time.
