Jonathan Green Black Beauty® SolarGreen Texas Bluegrass Grass Seed is our most heat and drought tolerant grass seed mixture yet! It contains Texas Bluegrass and Black Beauty® turf-type tall fescues which makes it perfect for sunny and/or shady areas. SolarGreen Texas Bluegrass can withstand very hot temperatures, up to 100°F, and requires less maintenance than traditional Kentucky Bluegrass.
This mixture will produce a dark-green, heat resistant, highly durable lawn making it ideal for lawns located in southern California, northern Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina or anywhere along the transition zone. Like our other Black Beauty varieties, SolarGreen Texas Bluegrass Mixture can grow roots up to four feet deep, contains a waxy leaf coating to preserve moisture, displays a uniform (not clumpy) growth habit, and naturally withstands insects and diseases. SolarGreen gives you the beauty of Kentucky Bluegrass without the summer problems!
