What is the best perennial grass seed for the Southern States?
After spending a lot of money to have someone put new grass seed down along with aerating, and new grass seed fertilizer last year in the fall, not one blade of grass has come up and instead I have weeds!
I have come to the conclusion that they used an annual grass seed.
I need a perennial grass seed for NC area.
What is the best, low weed content, seed?
Tall Fescue, Rye?
Many of the bags that I looked at, do not state annual or perennial.

It depends on the soil, how much shade you get, etc. While you're doing the aerating and all that, you should also consider getting your soil tested. You might need to amend it some.
Also, go to a local (stress on local) garden supply/nursery. Many will formulate their own seed mix specifically for your area. In my area, it's a blend of Fescue, Bermuda, and Kentucky Bluegrass. These blends do better than just one type of grass, as it extends the time the whole turf will stay green during the year. If you go to a big-box store like Lowes or HD, they'll just sell you the product-du-jour from Pennington or Scotts, whereas local people will not only know what works in your state, but also your city or even specific neighborhood. They can also tell you how to best maintain it and keep it healthy. Get specialized help to get the best results.

I'd certainly consider St. Augustine, which we had in Texas and which is widespread in Florida. Bermuda might also be a good choice.
