About 90% of cool-season grass seed sold in the United States is
produced in Oregon, and for good reason. Oregon-grown ryegrass
seed is produced by full-time growers in the grass seed capital of the
world - where ideal growing conditions contribute to the inherent
quality of our product.
Not surprisingly, nearly all of the annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and perennial ryegrass (L. perenne L.) seed in the USA is grown in Oregon. Mild, moist winters, and dry summers favor seed development and harvest, making Oregon's Willamette Valley an ideal place to produce high quality seed. Collectively, this small region produces almost two‐thirds of the total USA seed production of cool‐season grasses.
Every bag or container of ryegrass seed bears an analysis tag which states the seed’s origin. Insisting on Oregon-grown seed assures you that the value added is included in every seed.
Reduces need for pesticides to control weeds and unwanted vegetation. A healthy 50' x 50' lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four. Requires less water for germination and maintenance during winter months. Helps reduce surface temperatures as opposed to asphalt or concrete.
7 to 10 days is normal, even less under optimum conditions.
A healthy, lush lawn adds curb appeal, which can really pay off. Buyers suggest that a lawn in top shape can add as much a 15% to a home’s value.
