Perennial ryegrass

Perennial ryegrass

Lolium perenne

Cool season, short-lived, perennial bunchgrass adapted to a wide variety of sites where moisture is adequate. Establishes quickly and easily. Excellent palatability for use in pasture and range improvement blends; also extensively bred as a turf. Tetraploid types are more vigorous, digestible, less stemmy, have excellent regrowth and should be used for pasture and hay. Diploid types have finer leaf blades and tiller more aggressively and are developed as turf. Popular choice for winter over-seeding of dormant Warm season Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) lawns in the south and southwest. (See Turfgrass section.)
