Rye Grass Genus Details

section divider
The rye grass genus has short-lived perennial, biennial, and single-stemmed annual species. This grass is widely used in lawns, pastures as a forage, roadsides and waste areas. Perennial types grow in tufts or mats. Flat or slightly rolled (inward) leaf blades have a smooth surface and grow 1-10 inches long. Flowers are located on stalks 2-6 inches tall. Flowering occurs in June-August. The majority of the pollen comes from the grass found in patures, hay fields and wild areas, since the plants must usually be more than 1 foot tall to flower.
