Timothy are a genus of tufted annual and perennial grass native to temperate climates. It is an important feeding source for grazing animals. It is native to most of Europe and has become naturalized in North America. However, it is threatened due to a lack of meadows.
Water:
Timothy prefers consistent moisture and requires weekly watering for optimal growth. It's drought-resistant but needs careful attention to natural rainfall and soil drainage to avoid waterlogging, especially when grown outdoors.
Propagation:
Propagation of timothy primarily occurs via seed sowing. Key factors include full sunlight, germination temperatures of 40-55°F (4-13°C), and well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0. Stratification may be needed, and care should be taken to maintain soil moisture and avoid overcrowding of seedlings.
