    Perennial ryegrass is the most widely sown pasture grass in Aotearoa New Zealand. It grows well in most conditions, is easy to manage and, as a perennial, will grow for many years.

    Annual and Italian ryegrass species are less persistent but are quick to establish and provide winter and early spring feed.

    Ryegrass provides high-quality feed.
