Pickseed - Perennial Ryegrass Seed - 50 LB Bag

Perennial Ryegrass is one of the best lower maintenance varieties of the cool season grasses. This is one of the toughest and most traffic tolerant turf covers that can be grown. Ryegrass is noted for quick germination, shiny green color, fine texture (newer turf type varieties) and dense forming sod. High disease and insect resistance helps to make perennial ryegrass one of the leading choices for lawn and athletic covers in the cooler regions of North America. Perennial ryegrass is planted as permanent turf or lawn grass and to overseed warm season grasses while they are in winter dormancy.

Perennial ryegrass seed is also mixed with other cool season grasses to provide more density to the dominate grass in the mixture. Perennial ryegrass seed is often added to Kentucky bluegrass seed to add strength and give bluegrass time to repair while the perennial ryegrass is in full growth. These two grass species can be mown at the same height and retain a sod density for which both are well known. Although bluegrass may require more fertilizer, the perennial ryegrass will respond to additional amounts without any damage.
