Not recommended. A cool-season grass used as a turf cover crop in high-traffic areas like golf courses, ballfields, and some ranches. It is occasionally used in residential lawns; it works best with warm-season turf that goes dormant in winter, like Bermudagrass or zoysia (but NOT St. Augustine grass.) Ryegrass germinates and grows quickly, providing green color during the cool season, when warm-season turf grasses are brown.
Ryegrass dies out naturally after reseeding in spring. In a wet spring it may persist into April or May, competing with the underlying Bermudagrass or zoysia.
