Perennial Ryegrass is one of the world’s most widely used turfgrasses. Its popularity comes from its ability to germinate in 7 to 10 days or less. This finebladed turf grass is preferred by many home owners because of its dark color, strong root system, its fast response to fertilization and its rapid recovery from trampling. A cool-season grass, Perennial Ryegrass can adapt to many different kinds of soil, including poor soils, clay, and badly drained areas. A high level of endophytes allows this species to perform well under stress. Turf-type Perennial Ryegrass is a hardy grass that has been used in almost every premier sporting event and on the world’s finest golf courses. This bunch type grass likes full sun but will tolerate some shade and can be mowed as short as 3/16 of an inch.
