Jonathan Green Black Beauty Grass Seed
Best grass seed for homeowners repairing lawns during the fall season.
This is the gold standard for fall lawn recovery, turning scorched summer patches into a dense, deep-green carpet. While it requires the patience to wait two weeks for germination, the waxy blade coating ensures your new grass survives the transition into winter with superior root strength.
