Gulf Annual Ryegrass Seed is a premium, Oregon-grown turfgrass designed for rapid winter overseeding and quick spring cover. With 98% germination and exceptional seedling vigor, Gulf establishes fast, providing a weed-free, durable turf for lawns, athletic fields, and golf course tees or fairways. Lighter green and slightly courser than perennial ryegrass, it is ideal for temporary cover that naturally disappears as warm-season grasses emerge, making it perfect for bermudagrass overseeding. This high-quality ryegrass requires minimal pesticide inputs, thrives in full sun to partial shade, and delivers reliable results with proper soil preparation and seeding rates. Whether you are starting a new lawn or enhancing dormant turf, Gulf Annual Ryegrass ensures strong growth, quick establishment, and a professional-quality finish.
When to Apply
Best applied in fall for winter overseeding, or early spring for quick cover. Gulf Annual Ryegrass is less heat-tolerant than perennial ryegrass, so avoid planting during hot summer months.
Sunlight Requirements
Performs best in full sun to partial shade. Requires at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
Germination Rate
Germination is rapid due to strong seedling vigor, typically within 5–7 days under ideal conditions. Full cover is usually established within 2–3 weeks.
Seed Composition
- Gulf Annual Ryegrass: 99.73% (98% Germ, Oregon Origin)
- Other Crop Seed: 0.00%
- Inert Matter: 0.27%
- Weed Seed: 0.00%
- Noxious Weed Seeds: None Found
Adaptation
Gulf was developed for winter overseeding of dormant bermudagrass turf where rapid spring transition is desired. If seeded alone, it provides quick cover and can over-winter when planted in the fall. Ideal for athletic fields and situations where rapid turf cover is needed. It’s lighter green and somewhat courser than perennial ryegrass and will naturally disappear before warm-season grasses take over.
Coverage & Seeding Rates
- New Lawn: 10–12 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Overseeding Tees: 20–25 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Overseeding Fairways: 15–20 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
Traffic & Durability
Gulf Annual Ryegrass establishes quickly with strong seedling vigor, making it excellent for short-term turf cover and athletic fields. It is temporary, disappearing as temperatures rise, which prevents interference with warm-season grasses.
Maintenance & Care
- Watering: Keep soil moist until germination. Afterward, water deeply 2–3 times per week.
- Mowing: First mow when grass reaches 3–4 inches, cutting to 2.5–3 inches.
- Pesticide Inputs: Minimal pesticide use is required due to Gulf’s strong seedling vigor.
- Fertilizing: Apply starter fertilizer at seeding, then follow standard nutrient practices for overseeding.
Origin & Quality
Gulf Annual Ryegrass is Oregon-grown with 98% germination. Free of weed and noxious weed seeds, providing a reliable, high-quality turf solution for winter overseeding and rapid spring cover.
FAQ
- Can Gulf Annual Ryegrass be mixed with bermudagrass? Yes, it is designed to overseed dormant bermudagrass and disappear as the bermudagrass becomes active in spring.
- Is it heat-tolerant? Less heat-tolerant than perennial ryegrass; this is advantageous for overseeding.
- How long before I can walk on it? Light foot traffic after ~2–3 weeks, depending on weather and soil conditions.
