Winter Hardy
Once properly established plants in this mix usually tolerate a typical British winter.Ref: RYE. Also known as grazing or cereal rye, it is one of the most effective crops for reducing N leaching over the winter. It makes good autumn growth and is therefore one of the best winter green manures. It will also give the earliest spring growth, typically used for early spring grazing. Not to be confused with Ryegrass. Available from August, order early to avoid disappointment. More details...

It is the only grass to produce a stem and seed head from a spring sowing making it good for the production of hay for horses. A very good N Lifter, it is very quick to make a large root mass making it suitable as a green manure. It is a cheaper alternative to cereal rye making it very popular. Used on its own or as a companion to N-fixing vetch. More details...

The selected products below may also work for your criteria but would not be a typical choice.
Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum)
This is a short lived grass lasting for two years. It is very high yielding and reliably provides up to 18t DM per hectare on soils that suit it. (All ryegrasses yield less on light soils, especially in low rainfall areas.) It has a very open growth habit with fewer tillers than other grasses. It is therefore better suited to cutting than grazing.
