Characteristics
-
Annual rye grass is a cool-season, bunching annual grass that is similar to perennial rye grass. Originally from Europe, it grows to a height of about 3 feet with smooth, shiny dark green leaves.
Planting
-
Late summer to early fall is generally the time to plant annual rye grass, and you can plant any time between late August and early October in most areas.
Uses
-
Annual rye grass is more commonly used as a forage crop for winter and spring grazing than on lawns. Perennial rye grass is generally a better choice as a turf grass, although annual rye grass can be used to over-seed a warm-season lawn in southern areas, helping it stay green through winter.
