Tall fescue is more drought-resistant than perennial ryegrass because of its deeply embedded roots. It grows in full sunlight to partial shade, but cannot withstand extreme cold. Perennial rye tolerates full sun as well, but lesser shade than tall fescue. It has a low tolerance to extreme cold and drought.

Planting grass in New Jersey can be done in late spring and early summer but the best time to plant grass seed is late August to early November.
