Perennial ryegrass is predominantly a species of rich fertile lowland pasture, leys, and hay meadows. It is a native grass but has been very widely sown over at least the last 400 years.
Ryegrass also occurs in many other grassy habitats on a wide range of soils, particularly those which are heavily grazed or trampled such as paths and tracks. It is frequently present in old un-improved flower rich meadows but as a non-intrusive minor component unless fertility is ‘improved' by the addition of fertiliser. Ryegrass is pretty much absent from drought and nutrient stressed habitats and from woodland.
