Ryegrass, Lowboy
Annual Ryegrass that is low growing and easily terminated in the spring. Growth is focused on canopy density rather than height. Aboveground, it tillers and spreads to create rapid groundcover rather than growing taller. Below ground it exhibits both dense and deep growth, penetrating soil to create countless channels for aeration, water infiltration, and future root growth. Due to lower growth height than normal annual it’s easier to burn down.
Lowboy is recommended for cover crop usage due to low growth height and easier burn down and is easier to plant into. Lower growth height relates to less mowing for lawns and easier cover crop planting. For cover crop usage recommended seeding rate is 25-50 lbs. acre.

Native bunch grass that spread by short rhizomes and good root depth. Shade tolerant.
Originates from the Mediterranean region of southern Europe and North Africa and are often referred to as Mediterranean or summer-dormant types. These summer-dormant fescues basically cease growth during summer in response to long days, high temperatures, and dry conditions. In western regions of Oklahoma and Texas, the Mediterranean summer-dormant fescues offer promise of cool-season production [...]
Tropical to subtropical perennial grass with good forage production in low fertile soils. It creeps with stolons and rhizomes, native to South America, naturalized in North America.
Native, cool season perennial that is short lived. Found on sandy shores and dunes; wooded areas, especially along trails, rivers and streams; and other disturbed sites throughout much of North America.
Good all-around warm season grass for turf, pasture and erosion control. Low growing, disease and insect resistant that once established, it is drought, heat and salt tolerant and will withstand a lot of abuse.
Heavy producer. Best in pure stands. Long root system. Old growth not palatable. Weeping lovegrass prefers a light-textured, well-drained soil, and will thrive on soils of low fertility.
