Annual ryegrass is widely used throughout the United States， but the way it's used differs from region to region. This hard-working， fine-bladed grass wins fans with its fast germination rate and quick establishment. It's a valued component in permanent northern lawns and southern lawns in need of temporary winter color. Depending on where you live and your immediate lawn goals， ryegrass may offer just what you need.

Even though ryegrass naturally suits northern climates， southern lawn owners use it extensively. Warm-season grasses used in the south and west， such as Bermudagrass， go dormant and turn brown during cool winter months. Southern lawn owners keep lawns green in winter by seeding ryegrass over existing warm-season lawns in fall. Fast-germinating ryegrass creates a temporary green lawn for winter， then dies out when warm-season grasses green up and summer heat returns. Good cold and drought tolerance makes ryegrass an excellent choice for winter overseeding in the southwest， where it is common to have green lawns year-round.
