Seeds: Perennial Ryegrass

Perennial ryegrass is a cool-season perennial widely distributed throughout the temperate regions of the world and is important in forage/livestock systems. The use of perennial ryegrass on golf courses has increased rapidly during the past several decades, due to its upright growth habit, tolerance to close mowing and the ease with which reel mowers can create striping on perennial ryegrass turf. Perennial ryegrasses are the most versatile of the lawn grasses. They germinate faster, have better wear tolerance, and are darker green and denser than Kentucky bluegrass.
