About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Perennial Ryegrass is a fine-textured perennial grass for lawns and other open planting areas where a tidy turf appearance is desired. Its bunching growth habit and narrow leaves make it useful for regionally suitable lawn projects and mixes.
Choose a site with conditions that support this grass and give new seedlings consistent care while they establish. Growth and seasonal appearance vary with weather, soil preparation, moisture, and mowing practices, so adjust routine care to local conditions rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all schedule.
