Description
Timothy grass is a perennial bunch grass with shallow and fibrous roots used for pasture, hay production and forage for horses, cattle and livestock. Timothy grass is best adapted to northern (cold) cooler climates and may be planted with clovers, alfalfa and other legumes for food plots for deer and other wildlife. Timothy grass performs well in moister areas and is very tolerant to acidity. Timothy does not tolerate drought, salt, shade or alkalinity. It is well suite for hay production. Because of its bunch growth habit, it is less competitive for nutrients when grown in mixtures with legumes. Spring growth is not too early although yield and palatability are very high. Main growth occurs in early summer. It is not tolerant of close, continuous grazing. The tall shoots are easily overgrazed and as a pasture plant it is relatively short lived.
- Use in rotation as pasture for livestock grazing or hay production.
- Long-lasting, beautiful show of dark green grass with foxtail-like plumes.
- Easy to grow, requires little maintenance.
- Seeding Rate: 12 lbs. / Acre; Seed Depth: 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
