Jonathan Green40322 Black Beauty Ultra Grass Seed, 7 lb

I purchased a bag of this grass last spring and planted it after aerating the lawn. It returned a beautiful dark green lawn. I just purchased another bag this year 2024 and reseeded the lawn. Johnathan Green is an excellent grass seed. The only downside is its price which is expensive. Recommended.

Used this seed mixture to try to completely redo my front lawn in early fall 2020 after it had been decimated by a defective sprinkler system and a landscaper, since fired, who always cut my front lawn grass in full sun down to basically within 1 inch of the soil surface. Raked away the dead grass and added top soil from a local landscape company. Then added this Black Beauty seed, starter fertilizer from Scotts and watered the lawn about four times daily for about ten minutes each. Came in patchy and slowly initially after the renovation. Gradually filled in, over a month's time, really thick and with a beautiful dark green color. Wife said it looks like a 'green carpet' and we now have the best lawn in our development. Now plan to reseed each year with this mixture to keep it looking full and rejuvenated. Tried planting a less expensive brand of fescue grass seed in the back yard which actually is less challenging than my front yard and believe me there is NO comparison with the thickness or color achieved with the Black Beauty Ultra seed.

We bought this because my SIL suggested it. It germinated well and is doing great. Time will tell if it stays nice. We've planted other grass seed in this area and it came up just fine but petered out about mid summer the next year. The roots on this grass is supposed to reach up to 4 feet!

This is the best grass seed I've used in 60 years of yard care. It sprouted on time. Over 90% of the seeds grew well. I will revisit this review next year to report on how deeply the roots set. So far, the seed is worth every penny.

After watching a YouTube video which was sponsored by this company I bought the seeds and did exactly what the guy did on the YouTube video. Turns out this seeds to be useless and I didn’t get any results (pics are attached) nothing grew after 2 weeks don’t waste ur time and money buying this brand clearly it is not worth it. Worth mentioning, we tried this brand before nothing grew after the first time as well, and I gave it another chance after watching the YouTube video i spent so much money to have a green lawn, however it turned out to be a scam and clearly the green lawn they show on YouTube video is not achieved by their product.

My lawn is beautiful. Perfect for dead spots. Only wish I could tear out the entire yard and use this brand. It's slow to grow but when it comes up, it's thick and so green.

UPDATE 6/13 - The seller has sent me one additional courtesy bag. Any more needed will be in me. However, I really didn't want to mix grasses so I get the opportunity to go over the patches that didn't fill in. Y'all, I trait think this will be a beautiful grass when the total yard is complete and I look forward to updating with pics. Sellers offered great customer service and like I said below, this is one pretty blade of grass🤩From Earlier This Week-ok, so I'm going to post this here but I will reach out to the seller a week to see if e can fix this. The color of this grass is an amazing deep dark green with thin blades which I love. The problem is-- the grass doesn't fill in the way it should. I think it's because either the seeded area on the bag didn't actually match the area it said it should fill. Or worse, the quality of seed in the bag has some fillers in it that didn't cause it to germinate correctly. This was brand new lawn. I had an entire upheaval due to drainage issues so I had to begin again. I did allllll this research on grass-- almost a little obsessive. I love in NC and the parts that did well were un-affected by the deeper parts of my soil having clay. I watered and watered. Everyone teased me about my designer grass and how much I paid for it when Kentucky 31 would've been cheaper. However my 35x29ft back yard i really wanted this to work. I will ask the seller about another bag. If y'all can get this to work it'll be pretty grass but for how much extra seed i bought the turnout should buy be like this. Before overseeding with a filler quality seed i will still attempt this to be a full black beauty yard

This grass seed is the best I’ve ever bought and shipping was super fast!

It was very expensive 7 pounds bag at $107.00 however, after using, I can guaranty there is NO BAD WEEDS AND NO FILLERS. I took a bit of time to see it grow but it is so far the BEST SEEDS bought. I will buy it again...

Quick germination. Nice bright green results. Best to plant in the fall after aeration.

No issues with the seller. Product came within a week of ordering. The seed however was not as amazing as everyone says it was....at least for me. It took the seed about 12 days to germinate which was a bit longer then expected. My germination rate seemed more like 60-70% rather than the claimed 90%. Made sure to water 3 times a day for the first week and then twice a day for the 2nd. Maybe it was something I did...not sure to be honest. The seed/sqft rate was also pretty off for me. I ended up using close to double for the area they recommended. Besides that, the seeds that did germinate look good so far. I think I had my expectations too high for this seed since I paid a premium to get it here in Canada due to Covid. Would probably suggest other Canadians who want to get their hands on this seed and can’t cross over the boarder to settle for something cheaper. Can’t say it was worth the extra I paid. Still don’t think it’s a 1 star product though. No way all the people who highly praise this product are lying. I could just be a bad gardener...
