i cant find a REVIEW on the best SHADE TOLERANT fescue seed….. can you recommend any…

I recently overseeded with Lesco Transistion Blend [34% Biltmore Tall Fescue 34% Magellan Tall Fescue & 32% Padre Tall Fescue] and then – I added a litle bit of REBELS ELITE 2 weeks later and then one final overseeding on Oct 31 with the Lesco transition blend ….

looking at my house i realize that my front and ONE SIDE get 100% full sun and my backyard and other “side” get partial… theres a shadow made by my house in the backyard that is there most the day and then about 70% of it “moves” throughout the day – a section closest to my backyard patio deck gets little to no sun BUT there is fescue there and I want to thicken that up!

In the spring 2010 i will overseed again but this time with a SHADE FESCUE MIX in the backyard and side …..

Has anyone review which brand has the BEST SHADE BLEND for fescue lawns? hopefully something that matches my current Lesco/Rebel lawn thats come up so far?

‘Combat extreme’ available at outsidepride.com It says it can take partial shade, but my experience with it- shows suprising full shade peformance.
