Fescue seed question
 

I like to keep the same seed on my lawn but accidently used a different
fescue seed when patching.

The one I normally use says:
Encore Tall Fescue (Dwarf Turf-Type) 99.62 Germ 90%
Inert .38

The one I used on a few patches of my lawn says

Hubbard 87 Tall Fescure (64.91) Germ 90%
Baja Tall Fescue 34.95 Germ 90%
Inert .14

Will one overtake the other ? How will they co-exist?

Thanks

Fescue doesn't spread, each blade germinates from seed so nothing will
"overtake" anything. You may notice some difference in the shade of green
and/or the growth pattern, but that's about it. You really have two
solutions: 1. Kill or remove the Hubbard Blend and replace with the Encore;
or 2) Overseed the spots with the Encore to "dilute" the appearance of the
Hubbard and create a more uniform blend.

I don't know where you live/what zone you're in, but generally speaking,
blends perform better than single varieties as they utilize the various
strengths of the different varieties. Oh, a third option. Either now or in
the fall (best in fall), overseed with the Hubbard blend. Hope this helps.

Then how come my lawn is overtaking my gravel driveway?

There's "creeping fescue" and "clump fescue."
