2000+ Timothy Pasture Grass Seeds-Phleum Pratense- Perennial Cool Season Grass- Great in poor soil and Prevents Erosion-G076
Timothy seed is used primarily in mixes for hay, pasture or silage. It is also used in solid stands for the hay compaction industry. Most seed produced in Western Canada is used in North America; however, some proprietary varieties are grown under contract and shipped overseas, mainly to Europe. Timothy also known as Phleum pratense is a perennial cool-season grass, relatively late-flowering, best adapted to cool, humid climates. At a given location, heading and blooming dates for improved cultivars may vary by as much as 7-10 days.
Timothy normally matures 2-3 weeks later than tall fescue, orchardgrass, and smooth bromegrass. This feature makes it an ideal grass for late-spring grazing, or for hay harvesting since the climate is more favorable for field curing. Timothy is very palatable, consequently it is often selectively grazed and soon disappears when seeded with less palatable species. At certain stages of development, Timothy is intolerant of intensive grazing.
