Look at the weed seed and other crop %
Look up the cultivars in the rebel and make sure they have traits you want.
I was looking at prices between the “store” sold seeds and better seed prices and the difference is not much .

not sure if all Rebel Tall Fescue is the same but noticed this bag is 50% by weight is coating.

Thank you, everyone! This year, it isn't easy to find seeds in CT. I tried in the past different brands and with some, I was lucky with others not. I have to overseed 20.000 sqft and I have a low budget. A few years ago I was not lucky with Black Beauty and I tried Pennigton and it was ok. My challenge with my lawn is the water, I have a water well and I don't have too much water to waste.

Your best bet is to see what cultivars tested best NETP program near you for heat and draught tolerance and lower maintenance. Along with disease resistance.
