  Best Type of Grass Seed

Hi,I am finally about to redo a couple of acres of grass by overseeding. I have read a few pieces of literature from some seed companies. In the past I had been using a Tri Blend of Rye Grass. However since my lawn seemed to be vulnerable to disease and drought I am considering other options.From what I read it looked like TALL FESCUE has the characteristics I want; drought resistant, Hardy for a fully sunny area.I had never considered Fescue before, I noted that it takes about twice as much seed per acre versus Rye but costs the same per pound, so its about twice as expensive. Is this just a rip - off? On a seeds per pound basis you can't beat bluegrass seed with its unfortunate slow gerination and other issues.Thanks for any help!

  Best Type of Grass Seed

Yep!
I hear you. When I was a kid we had some creeping red Fescue that clung close to the ground, if you kicked or slid on it big patches would just come off like it was a toupee. I swore I would never use that stuff

Then last year I bought some ornamental "Blue Fescue" seed and grew it for my garden. Hard to get going but once it did its really cool. Stays green almost all winter starts early, very hardy. That is why I thought about the Fescue again.
You must be someplace warm with burmuda grass, I am up in PA where we don't have the heat.
I quess that my question could be re-phrased What is the best seed for MidAtlantic States for full sun, Hardy disease resistant, drought resistant, low maintainance, that could be put down now (overseeding).
Thanks!
