McKay’s Annual Ryegrass as the name suggests is a 1 year proposition that provides excellent quality Autumn, Winter and early Spring growth. The forage quality drops in late spring with the onset of seed head emergence. The plants have usually died off summer. Annual Ryegrass will not regenerate and requires annual reseeding.

It is often used to overseed warm season lawn grasses (such as Buffalo, Couch, Zoysia, Kikuyu, Queensland Blue) to provide a green, economical grass cover from Autumn to Spring. It can also be used for weed suppression and temporary erosion control.

Annual Ryegrass is an easy to establish grass, bred to provide quick winter pastures and, with sufficient moisture, seeds will even germinate when broadcast on top of established lawns or pastures. It is typically suited to winter rainfall and areas with hot, dry summers.
