1 Seeds Annual Ryegrass Lolium multiflorum
Annual Ryegrass is a cool-season bunchgrass known for its rapid establishment and vigorous growth, making it a popular choice for temporary ground cover and quick greening. Its fine-textured blades form a dense, bright green stand that establishes faster than many other grasses.
