What is Rye Grass Seed?
Rye grass is a type of bunch grass, a grass that grows in tufts rather than in a smooth mat. Rye grass seed is often mixed with other varieties of grass seed to add durability and late season green to a lawn. Rye grass is available as either an annual or a perennial seed, and both varieties are cool season grasses. Rye grass seed germinates quickly, typically in less than two weeks. This quality makes it an excellent choice for areas of recent construction. By planting rye grass seed over bare soil, the area is soon green, and soil erosion is kept to a minimum.
