Classic Rye Blue

Classic Rye-blue sod is green all year round and classified as a cool-season grass, but features wear resistance and drought-tolerance. Rye-blue sod provides a dense turf with medium-fine blades that grow upright. Often grown as a winter cover crop.  The blades are lightly colored and have an overall glossier appearance. This type of sod provides a unique, shimmering look. Ryeblue grass is not well suited to Southern California’s warm transition-zone climate and is not suggested for inland valleys and other warm, arid regions. It is suitable for moderate coastal areas and adapts to a wide range of soils but requires moderate fertility and moisture. Ryeblue requires reasonably well-drained, amended soils.
