    Find a seed source close to you. It will have adapted to grow well in your area. In the US, native plant nurseries sell bulk, low maintenance seed. I believe it is mostly tall fescue. Brand names are Eco-Lawn or Eco-Grass.
    (https://www.prairiemoon.com/eco-grass-low-maintenance-lawn-alternative.html). Other popular alternatives to grass are sedges, heaths and heathers. The last 2 need acidic soil.

    This will not be a suitable method for saving grass seeds. These will require low temperatures, but not below freezing. The refrigerator will be perfect for storage of grass seeds.

    What is your usda zone? Also, when did you prune these? This should be pruned after it starts to show new growth for the spring. Pruning too early can cause this also. This article will guide you on proper care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/fountain-grass/tips-for-care-of-fountain-grass.htm

    I would suggest checking with your County Extension Office. They should be able to suggest the best seed or plugs to use given the current weather trends and conditions in your region.
    Here are some links for you.

    I have listed a link for Kentucky Bluegrass specific to your growing zone.

    I would also suggest talking with your County Extension Office and see if they have a suggestion of variety that will give you the darkest green lawn for your specific region. They can help with soil testing if you should also need it.
