About Annual Ryegrass

Annual Ryegrass is a very useful grass brought to the U.S. from Europe. It is a very fast germinating, fast growing cool season grass with many uses. It can be used alone or in mixtures with other cool-season pasture grasses to provide good forage or hay. It can also be used as a cover crop to protect exposed soil until desired perennial species are planted and established. This grass will come up quickly and unless it is allowed to reseed, will winter kill and not come back the following season. It may act as a short lived perennial in warmer climates with mild winters.
