Cocksfoot grass from Smyth Seeds is a variety of the dactylis glomerata. This is a perennial grass that originated in the Mediterranean expanse and northern Europe. It is a deep rooted grass that has high to modest drought tolerance. This moisture dearth sensitivity depends on the cultivar. The company believes that grazing management awareness can in turn, help in improving the quality and growth persistence of the grass. This perennial ryegrass is available in two types.
The summer active grass is a northern American perennial grass type that grows persistently during summers. On the other hand, the grass that originated in the Mediterranean plains is dormant during summers and active in winters. Well drained, fertile soil with low pH level makes the suitable environment for cocksfoot grass. Therefore, this ryegrass is particularly useful in high rainfall areas or places that receive sufficient irrigation.
