warm temperatures better than Annual Ryegrass, though neither
variety like extreme temperature changes. |

Both ryegrasses are used in the South (transition
zone, southward) to overseed warm season grasses such as Zoysia, Bahia and Bermudagrass
lawns. Perennial ryegrass can extend growing into the warm season longer than
annual ryegrass and is less susceptible to dying out under warm temperatures. It's positive attribute
is that it handles lower cold temps and warmer temps than does the annual variety.
Perennial ryegrass is used in more Northern states as a single stand lawn
and also in mixtures. There is a limit to it's cold
tolerance and can be winter killed or damaged in more extreme cold
climates.
PERENNIAL RYEGRASS ADAPTATION:
Perennial Ryegrass Lawns are adapted to the cool season
zones when grown in single stands for full coverage. It prefers sun but can
stand moderate shade. This grass can be used in overseeding warm season
grasses in the temperate zone during the winter while they are in dormancy or for
greenery in the winter while the warm season grass is getting fully established in the
spring. Best established in temperate zones with plenty of rainfall and in the warmer
climates with cooler nights. Perennial will not do well in extreme heat, cold or dry
situations. Rye grass also does well in areas of good rainfall and cool nights.
Perennial ryegrass in many situations does not
remain a long-life grass, many times dying out in 1 to 3 years depending on the location
and temperatures. Some varieties act more like annual ryegrass, depending on how far
south they are grown.
Perennial Ryegrass Forages can be found all over the world
north of the tropical areas into the transition zone and into the regions of the
cold season zone. Perennial ryegrass can be grown on a variety of soils and climates as
long as there is sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Ryegrass is one of the most
palatable forages and produces plenty of forage material when handles correctly. The
varieties seem endless and are still being added to almost yearly. The Europeans and
developers in New Zealand are really working with some impressive strains for better
forage usage and extending the area of adaptation into the colder climates.

ANNUAL RYE GRASS ADAPTATION:
ANNUAL RYEGRASS is rarely grown for lawns in single
stands. Instead this grass is used to seed with other grasses being
established and for overseeding of warm season grasses. Annual ryegrass performs in so many situations while the permanent grass is
filling in or in dormancy. This grass is easily grown from seed and in all kinds of soils
and climates except the very hot and very cold.
The best adaptation for annual ryegrass is
in regions of adequate rainfall or irrigation and damper soils. Annual ryegrass performs in so many situations while the permanent grass is filling in or is in dormancy.
