Lawn seed #870204

Asked May 26, 2024, 7:16 PM EDT

Hi, I am looking to reseed my established lawn this fall and I am really looking for top quality tall fescue that will grow well and look dark green for Delaware. Do you have recommendations of seed manufacturers that would meet my standards and grow well in Delaware (e.g. GCI, Jonathan Green Black Beauty, Blackout…). Thanks. I am in planning stages now and want to research and purchase top quality blue tag seed. Thanks, Dave
