Black Beauty Tall Fescue is formulated with highly drought-tolerant turf grasses that can grow roots up to four ft. deep, making it able to absorb moisture deep in the soil. The Black Beauty breakthrough in turf grass 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 Original Grass Seed is a cool-season tall fescue grass seed blend that germinates in 10 - 14 days.
