Annual Ryegrass Seed
Annual ryegrass seed has several benefits, which make it a popular choice for many applications. Annual ryegrass germinates quickly and establishes rapidly, providing fast cover and erosion control. It can be used as a temporary cover crop to protect soil, reduce erosion, and improve soil health. It is often used for over-seeding warm-season lawns to maintain green cover during the winter months. Annual rye grass seed can tolerate moderate foot traffic, making it suitable for use in parks, sports fields, and other high-traffic areas. Its quick establishment and dense growth help to prevent soil erosion on slopes and disturbed areas. Annual rye grass is an annual and will only last one season so it should only be used for temporary ground cover and then overseeded with another seed mix. Annual ryegrass seed is often combined with a tall fescue grass seed.
