Ryegrass

Close up photo of Italian ryegrass.

Perennial ryegrass is the most widely sown pasture grass in Aotearoa New Zealand. It grows well in most conditions, is easy to manage and, as a perennial, will grow for many years.

Annual and Italian ryegrass species are less persistent but are quick to establish and provide winter and early spring feed.

Ryegrass provides high-quality feed.
