Plant ornamental grass seeds in the Fall?

I live in Zone 5 or 6. Can I sucessfully plant ornamental grass seeds in the Fall? If so, what do you recommend? Thank you!

1. Fall is the best time for almost all grasses, so long as you still have 4 weeks before first frost and it's a perennial grass. Spring is bad since most people in zones 5 and 6 want to put down pre-emergent crabgrass granuals, which stop the seeds from germinating.
2. yes, put hey over it!
