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. Black Beauty Tall Fescue Grass Seed is a cool-season tall fescue grass seed blend that germinates in 10 – 14 days.
