English ryegrass

Overview

English ryegrass (Lolium perenne 'Manhattan') is a fast-growing, perennial grass that is native to much of Europe and North America. This hardy, disease-resistant lawn grass is a crossbreed between Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass. This cold- and heat-tolerant grass variety is known for its deep green color and thick, dense turf. It is widely employed in lawns, golf courses, and even pastures for livestock. 'Manhattan' has a shallow root system which allows for easy mowing and management. It has high salt tolerance and can help with soil stabilization and erosion control. English ryegrass is an attractive and easy-to-maintain grass that can make any outdoor area look beautiful.
