Title says it all.

Assumptions:
Seeking 0.00% other crop and 0.00% noxious weeds on seed label.
Assuming 100% perennial rye (can be blends) versus blends of PRG and KBG
Advantageous to have endophyte enhanced seeds
Advantageous to have seeds coated with an antifungal, such as Apron or Maxium fungicide

Looking at Handcook seed - I see Futura 3000, Futura 2000, and Champion GQ blends.

All of the pennington PRG products were out due to being only 99.9% weed free.

Any where else I should be looking at a supplier and any particular blends or cultivars that are most fitting for the South-eastern part of the country?

I used Champion GQ because I got it on sale. I'm pretty sure @Iriasj2009 just bought some stuff from a box store - both looked magnificent. I wouldn't overthink it since you'll you be spraying it out in the spring. It is highly unlikely that you will face any growing challenges during the fall/winter.

I can move the thread to cool season if you would prefer, but it can't live in two places. Feel free to start a separate thread - I will give you a 50% discount.

I had great luck with the PRG from SiteOne. Had quick germination and nice thick green grass all winter. Next winter I tried the Champion GQ like Ware. It germinated quickly in 6 days, but ended up burning up when I put starter fertilizer on it.

What rate did you apply the starter fert?

I'm not sure, it was in December. But i think it was a pretty low rate, and I watered it in.
