When Should I Sow Ground Cover Seed In Zone 8 A

I have a 3 acre hillside and I want to select ground cover to sow in a fairly large amount – about 120,000 square feet. I’d like to select the seed on the basis of factors such as nutrient contribution (to the soil) deer resistance etc… but would like to know when I should expect to sow the seed – to plan.
