Some call it overseeding and like the strong winter color...

We used to overseed, but the mowing is amazingly boring all winter. I actually
like the break in winter. Most commercial landscapes have winter fescue or rye.
For that, it's heaven sent. The landscape looks nice all year long in warmer
climates.
