We recently tested the Jonathan Green (12007) Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed, and the results were both impressive and unexpectedly thrifty. Designed for cool-season lawns, this 50-lb bag delivered dense, dark green coverage even in mixed light conditions. We were particularly pleased with how well it adapted to both sun-drenched spots and shaded areas, making it a versatile choice for diverse landscapes. The germination rate exceeded our expectations, spurring rapid, uniform growth without overwhelming costs. What impressed us most, however, was the value—it performed like a premium seed at a fraction of the typical price point, proving that quality and thriftiness can coexist beautifully. Though time will tell about long-term durability, our initial experience with Jonathan Green’s Black Beauty seed has left us largely satisfied and intrigued.
