Timothy Seed
Timothy is a hardy, bunch-type grass well-suited for cooler climates. It is primarily used in mixes with red clover and is known for its good disease resistance. While Timothy can be grazed, it requires long rest periods and a rotational grazing system for maximum productivity and persistence. It has low tolerance for traffic and is not well-suited to drought or heat-prone areas.
