It establishes fast, tolerates close mowing right down to 5mm, and recovers quickly from heavy wear — making it the seed of choice for tight, durable lawns and sports surfaces like cricket wickets, tennis courts and golf tees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"mowd-pdp-when\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to use it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow any time in the growing season when soil is warm and moist — spring (March–May) and early autumn (late August–September) are ideal. Avoid frosts and the height of a summer drought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhat makes Rye Not such a hard-wearing grass seed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIt's pure perennial ryegrass — three highly rated cultivars (Chloe, Chardin and Dickens) selected for fast establishment and excellent resistance to wear under close-mown conditions. Ryegrass germinates quickly and roots strongly, so a Rye Not sward knits together fast and stands up to constant traffic far better than a fine-fescue lawn. That's why it's trusted on sports surfaces — and why it makes a superb tough, fine-cut lawn at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhat do you get and how much does it cover?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdl class=\"mowd-pdp-specs\"\u003e\n    \u003cdt\u003eCoverage\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNew lawns 35–75 g\/m²; overseeding 25–75 g\/m².

Sow evenly at the correct rate to a depth of around 10mm, then keep the surface moist for at least 2–3 weeks. Make the first cut once the grass reaches 5–6cm and tillering has started. A high-phosphorus pre-seed feed helps the roots establish. Always follow the application rates and safety guidance on the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"mowd-app-cta\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eNot sure when to sow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe free MyLawn app builds a seasonal plan around your lawn and tells you exactly when to seed, feed and mow. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mowd.uk\/pages\/mylawn\"\u003eLearn more about MyLawn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"mowd-pdp-links\"\u003eRelated: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mowd.uk\/blogs\/lawn-tips\/how-to-apply-lawn-seed\"\u003eHow to apply lawn seed\u003c\/a\u003e · pair it with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mowd.uk\/products\/roots-shoots-pre-seed-fertiliser-6-9-6\"\u003eRoots \u0026amp; Shoots pre-seed fertiliser\u003c\/a\u003e for stronger establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"mowd-faq\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdl\u003e\n      \u003cdt\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly does Rye Not germinate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n      \u003cdd\u003eUnder the right conditions you can see growth in as little as 5–7 days.
