Perennial Ryegrass

One of the most popular lawn choices across the country, but especially in the Pacific Northwest thanks to its tolerance of moderate cold and shade. Short roots make this grass a fast grower, but not so tolerant of drought conditions. It is known for its lush, classic look and softness which can last into the Winter.
