Best Perennial Ryegrass Seed? Even for colder climates!

- Hey Everyone,
Over a year ago I started over with my lawn and I chose Perennial Rye Seeds for my new lawn. However, the seeds did not do all that well over winter and a lot of it died off. In this video I will explain why I think Rye suits my lawn and my needs and I will also try out a new Ryegrass Seed I have found which might be better suited for my climate.

I will be forever grateful to you for giving me the idea of using a pallet as a drag. overseeded today and used the pallet after laying the seed, and again after spreading the topdressing.
Awesome mate, glad it worked out for you! I was actually very surprised how well it worked!
Considering a lot of football is played on your lawn, i think it looks good. Good luck with the new seed.
Thanks Ray, appreciate it. Have some fungus issues as well, but as you say, all things considered, the lawn is not looking too bad. Just needs some sun now, haven't seen the sun in weeks :)
Can’t wait to see the results and the germination time.
Those edgings are really nice Sam 👍👍
Thanks dude, appreciate it. It's germinating very well, too much rain though, it would need some sun right about now. Hopefully we get some this week.
Tack för dina underbara videos!!
Tack Homan, du är grym! :)
Excited to see how this turns out. I am a big fan of the RPR, but always good to see other options.
Me too, the RPR is by far the best looking grass I have used, but I need to have something that doesn't die off during winter, hopefully a mix of these will make it stronger.
Nice video. I planted Tetradark perennial rye grass a year ago and it worked out great. For some reason it’s now impossible to get though, but is also a tetraploid. Looking forward to your results!
I still have problems with lawn rust fungus. What works great and cheap is:
1 liter of dry powdered skimmed milk, four tablespoons of baking soda, then a bit of dish soap. I put that all in a pale, add four gallons of water, and spray it over my 2000 sq/ft lawn. I do this every three or four days. Really works well.
Hey Mate, I really really wanted to try the Tetradark too, but as you say, it's impossible to get hold of, hopefully they will release a mix with the Tetradark too, really would like to see the colour of it compared to the RPR.
That sounds really interesting, I will give it a shot, gotten more and more of it so really would be nice to find a natural way to treat it, thanks!
Last time you mentioned this new variety was larger size seeds.
The borders look amazing!
Thanks Wayne! Actually forgot to mention that, that's what makes it so fast and easy to germinate actually!
Good video. I used the RPR last year in my lawn and never again. It becomes extremely strong and really think stalks. It also got extremely thin in winter as always. Not a good choice for a well maintained lawn in my opinion
Lovely video Sam, as you know I reseeded last year with Rye… (Hurrells all American)but unfortunately I’ve had so much poa this year I’ve decided to kill it off and I’ve brought some Hurrells 100% CSI rye grass. I’ve done a few test patches in preparation and really pleased with this type of rye, quite a fine grass blade, not like the current rye grass and supposed to have a creeping habit when the temperature drops. Like you said you didn’t find any evidence of a creeping nature with the RPI, we’ll see. Keep them videos coming please 🙏
Hey Steve, aaaahhhh that Poa man, I too have a lot of it this year, been pulling like crazy, hopefully enough so I can keep it in check. But I can understand that you are starting over, it really is an eyesore. I actually looked into the CSI rye grass, really liked how it looked, but I opted to go for something that was promising winter hardiness.
Thanks for dropping by mate!
Check out Hattrick, Fireball, & JB triple Rye for ryegrass cultivars with a blend of Mazama Kentucky Bluegrass.
- JB triple rye is the least water sensitive ryegrass cultivar I've run into
- Mazama KBG handles direct sun really well & it's the darkest KBG cultivar out there. Super tough turf grass that will help fill in ryegrass patchiness, esp coming out of a hard winter. I ran into a similar problem with rye this last winter
- Hattrick and Fireball are the 2 darkest rye cultivars available and super disease resistant
Protip: To prevent fungal pressure, innoculate your grass seed by mixing mycorrhizal fungae spores into your grass seed for even faster germination, root development AND better uptake efficiency for fert and nutrients.
Hey Mate, I actually tried to find it somewhere over here in Europe, but couldn't find anyone supplying those cultivars, do you know anyone who supplies to the private market over here? Would really like to try them out, seems really interesting.
Thanks for the tip! I actually found some already, really want to try it out and see how it works!
@@SamsLawn I’m not certain my dude, there may be import/export laws preventing their export but those are the elite cultivars I would search for.
Looking nice mate, cracking job you doing there! In this Masterline mixture were there any fescues? I also have shady areas where Sun never shines and though to use some shady mix just in that area. Masterline PM50 and PM 60 has some fescues in it for shady lawns. Barenbrug also does seeds for the shady lawns(E8 and velvety green shady one) but could not find any videos about them. So I am keeping an eye on yours after the winter. Keep us updated pls.
Regards
Joe
Hey Joe, thanks mate, appreciate it. There were no fescue in this mix, I am trying to make a 100 Rye lawn work here in Sweden. Fescue is otherwise the most commonly used seed here since it handles the cold very well. But for sure, if you have shady areas fescue would be they way to go. I think Ryan Knorr uses some shade mixes, they contain a lot of fescue, maybe check out those videos and see what types he has and how they look?
@@SamsLawn Hi Sam, thank you for the reply with useful info mate👍 I will certainly have a look at his lawn and keep an eye on yours as well :) I love the looks of rye as well, maybe if I could find a shady version rye that would be spot on.
Why not turf type tall fescue has deep roots Kentucky bluegrass blades drawbacks lightly brown during the winter and sometimes get the tall fescue bunch grass shows up I use juniper seed juice it's a organic weed killer then reseed
I seeded 5acres found 2 small parent plans dieases resistance don't need watering litter during heat wave
Hey Mate, actually looked into it, but did't really like the look of it and it does not "self repair" that well, so it may not be the best grass for high traffic lawns. But we will see, maybe I will need to add something to the Ryemix, why not TTTF then. Thanks for dropping by dude.
Really good seeds, you can try also Barenbrug Rapid.
Not heard of that one, will definitely check it out, thanks mate!
Is DCM brand available in Sweden? If so, try DCM vital green
Looks really interesting! I would definitely try it, but have been googling a bit and I can't find it in Sweden it seems, only one distributor here and they don't sell to homeowners. Thanks for the tip though, will try to keep a look out.
Vad brukar du använder för toppdressa, jag vill inte ha bark i den
Jag kör nästan enbart toppdress från Rölunda. Alltid fått bra toppdress från dem, knapp några pinnar, bark eller något annat skräp i dem. Hornbach har deras toppdress för rimlig peng.
Tack så mycket @@SamsLawn
Har du nån koll på Fireball (Ryegrass)? Hittar inte i Europa.
Inte hört talas om tyvärr, googlat lite på det och den ser intressant ut men som du säger så verkar det inte säljas i Europa tyvärr. Hade gärna testat lite andra grässorter men vi har väldigt få sorter att välja bland i EU verkar det som. All frö kommer från bara 1-2 tillverkare typ och de säljer endast vissa sorter till privatpersoner medan andra är helt omöjliga att få tag på för oss.
Where can I purchase these seeds online?
They are available through varies of vendors, just have to google or search the internet for the area you are in. I get these from local swedish suppliers, but they should be available all throughout EU. On their respective websites you can also see where they sell them.
I live in Finland, but I can’t find it from any of the popular vendors. Can you share links to the vendors in Sweden. I could order in the online store from here.
@petershodeinde4 I'll see what I can find, and if they deliver to Finland. Which of the seeds are you interested in?
I would not use the DLF seeds just in their own, it's not dense enough to stand on its own I think.
@@SamsLawn I’m looking for the same DLF ryegrass seeds used in the video.
@@SamsLawn thank you. Really appreciate. 🙏
Where are the results?
Hey mate, I showed how it looked coming out from winter in my latest video about drainage. It really didn't come out so well, but I discuss why in that video. But during the season it looked awesome, maybe not as dense as I would have wished, I think it does best when mixed with some other denser grass types as well.
@@SamsLawn hi thanks for the reply. Which dense ryegrass do you recommend? Have you tried Johnson premiership pro or barenbrug extreme or limagrain mm50?
@@jfsx100 I would go with the Barenbrug RPR, I think it´s the most esthetical pleasing grass type I have every used.
@@SamsLawn Thanks here in the UK there is barenbrug sport RPR golf grass or Barenbrug RPR sport which one did you use?
@@jfsx100 I used the sport one, it had more of the RPR in it, I think mine had almost 40 or 50% RPR Rye and the rest just "normal" rye variety.
