Jonathan Green Black Beauty Original Tall Fescue Blend Grass Seed is formulated with highly drought-tolerant turf grasses that can grow roots up to four-feet deep, making it able to absorb moisture deep in the soil. The Black Beauty breakthrough in turfgrass breeding led to the creation of a new family of elite turf-type tall fescues that are naturally darker green in color, uniform in leaf texture, will not shred when mown, and will thrive even under adverse growing conditions. This is a cool-season tall fescue grass seed blend that germinates in 10 to 14 days.
