Perennial Ryegrass
Region North to Mid-South
Why we love it Plant this if your lawn gets a lot of traffic—it’s the species used on most athletic fields. New varieties have a finer texture and deeper color than old ones, so they look great anywhere. Another plus: It’s easy to stat from seed.
Blue Granmagrass
Region West, Great Plains, and Midwest
Why we love it This tough green will grow through drought, heat, cold, and regular mowing, though it doesn’t like shade. If you live in the South or West, use it on a sun-baked spot. It’s virtually maintenance-free.
