Rye Grass
Perennial (Lolium perenne) produces an abundance of leafy grass and is found in all good permanent pasture. There are a large number of varieties but all have common features in that they establish quickly and easily; and do well on fertile soils, but they will grow on a wide range of soil types under good management and adequate fertilisers. It produces a succession of seed heads during the summer and should be regularly topped.
Italian (Lolium miltiflorum) is similar to perennial rye-grass but taller and it only lasts for 2 years, and because it is an early flowering variety is not suitable for horse paddocks, however it is often found in hay or haylage.
