Winter rye planting dates vary from August to October, depending on where you garden. In Zones 6 and warmer, plant winter rye in late fall; in coldest zones, gardeners should get it in the ground in early fall. After planting winter rye, seeds sprout and grow.
When should I put out winter rye grass?
ANSWER: October and November are good months to plant winter rye seed for stabilizing soil in areas sparsely covered by regular lawn grass or recently filled areas. Rye can also be used to overseed existing lawns to extend the green color of the lawn through the winter.
Is rye grass OK for winter?
Fast-germinating perennial ryegrass creates a temporary green lawn for winter, then dies out when warm-season grasses green up and summer heat returns.
