Seeds for lawn

If there is regular traffic on the lawn, tall fescue is best wear tolerance of grasses. When seeding very late in the fall, a cover crop like annual ryegrass or wheat can be used to develop and hold the soil until spring. Plan on reseeding next spring with an optional turf species. Avoid purchasing seed lots that contain any annual ryegrass
