ryegrass

Common pasture forage

Ryegrass is a grass widely cultivated for lawns, pastures, and erosion control.

It establishes quickly and tolerates heavy foot traffic, making it popular for athletic fields and overseeding warm-season lawns in winter.

Annual and perennial varieties exist: The golf course uses perennial ryegrass on its fairways.
