What type of grass seed grows the fastest?
Perennial ryegrass typically germinates the fastest. However, it’s only suited for year round use in climates similar to the northern US. It can be used as a winter overseeding grass in the south. It does require full sun so if the area you’re seeding is shaded you’ll most likely need to use a fescue (assuming you live in the north). If you do live in the northern US, I would suggest using using either a Kentucky bluegrass/pernnial ryegrass blend if the area gets a decent amount of sunlight or a turf type tall fescue which can handle a little more shade but still does well in full sun and is more drought tolerant.
