Is it too late to put out winter rye grass?
Both annual and perennial ryegrass should be seeded at least six weeks before the first expected fall killing frosts. This gives the grass time to become established before the first hard frost. Because the date of the first frost varies, the planting date will vary. If you live in a warm climate, you can plant later.
