A little googling research shows that rye is a grain or cereal; ryegrass is totally different.

The commercial sod we use here in Michigan has what they call "ryegrass" seed in it. It tends to be a wider leaf than the seven different species of Kentucky Blue with it.

Back home we used rye(grass?) instead of grass seed--it came up quick and very lush. But it died off fairly early too.

"Winter wheat" we have here is normally planted very late in the fall, lays dormant until the snow melts in spring. If it gets too wet over the winter and spring it rots and won't germinate.
