Jonathan Green Black Beauty^® Ultra Grass Seed mixture combines our most elite Black Beauty® tall fescue seed varieties with our best Kentucky bluegrass to fill in bare spots quickly and invigorate worn-out lawns. Black Beauty® Ultra also contains premium perennial ryegrass for fast germination and wear tolerance in lawns that experience heavy traffic. The Black Beauty® Ultra seed grows naturally dark-green turf and is most similar to the Black Beauty® seed mixtures that sod growers purchase from us to grow high-quality sod within one year. This seed germinates in 7-14 days.

• Fast establishment in newly seeded lawns, and fills in bare spots quickly in thin lawns
• Grows a lush dark-green lawn in full sun to partial shade growing conditions
• Excellent heat and disease resistance as well as drought tolerance
• Once you’ve seen a Black Beauty® Ultra lawn you’ll never forget it!

Prepare: 

• Mow – Mow the lawn at the lowest mower setting before seeding to allow the seed to reach the soil.
• Rake – Rake over the existing grass with a metal rake to remove the thatch layer and any debris to loosen the soil.  Add additional topsoil to fill in holes and level the ground.  
• Check soil pH level – Have a soil test taken to check your soil’s pH level. Optimum soil pH should be between 6.2 to 7.0.  For a pH below 6.2 use Jonathan Green Mag-I-Cal^® Plus for Lawns in Acidic & Hard Soil to rapidly increase pH. If the pH is above 7.0 use Mag-I-Cal^® Plus for Lawns in Alkaline & Hard Soil to rapidly decrease the soil pH.
