This is last years seed and we need to move it! Use code BIG SALE PRG to get 40% off per bag. I have planted this exact seed this year 2026 and it germinates just fine.
If you bought rye from me the other day at 30% off please do not ask to honor this 50% off. I am losing my butt on this already and don't want to lose any more money than I have to. I appreciate your respect on this request.

🌱 Where & How to Use Perennial Ryegrass
1️⃣ Permanent Cool-Season Lawn
Best suited for northern and transition-zone climates with moderate summers and lower humidity. In these areas, ryegrass can serve as a full-time, permanent lawn with proper care.
2️⃣ Bermudagrass Overseeding (Fall/Winter Color)
Ideal for overseeding dormant bermuda in fall to maintain a lush green lawn through winter.
⚠️ Important:
Spray out the ryegrass early in spring to prevent competition. Leaving it too long can delay bermuda green-up and reduce turf health.
