Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a fast-establishing, cool-season bunch grass prized for its dark green color, fine leaf texture, and exceptional wear tolerance. Whether you're seeding a new lawn, overseeding warm-season turf, or establishing a cover crop or grazing pasture, Perennial Ryegrass delivers quick, reliable results.

Uses

Perennial Ryegrass is one of the most versatile cool-season grasses available, suited for:

  • Home lawns, recreation areas, and athletic fields
  • Golf course fairways and roughs
  • Overseeding bermudagrass and other warm-season turf in the South
  • Cover cropping and erosion control
  • Pasture and grazing for beef cattle, dairy, sheep, and horses
  • Nurse grass in cool-season turf mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and fine fescues

Description

Adapted to a wide range of soil conditions, Perennial Ryegrass thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is one of the quickest cool-season grasses to germinate and establish, making it an excellent choice when fast ground cover is needed. It offers moderate drought and disease resistance and outstanding wear tolerance for high-traffic areas.

Note: In the southern US, Perennial Ryegrass behaves as an annual grass due to summer heat.
