Perennial Ryegrass
Perennial Ryegrass is a bunchgrass with a shallow, fibrous root system. It has a very high requirement for moisture but will not tolerate ponding. It is a great species for turf applications because it is highly wear tolerant and shows rapid recovery from injuries. It is an excellent grass for overseeding, as it exhibits rapid seed germination and seedling establishment. Perennial ryegrass is shade and cold tolerant and produces no thatch. It is able to tiller and form a thick, dense cover.
