Phleum pratense L. - Timothy - Wiesenlieschgras - Fléole des prés - Fleo
This specie is normally found growing wild on fertile soils and under good moist conditions. It is a persistent grass, which seldom suffers
from frost damage. It can tolerate high summer temperatures if moisture is available but is best suited for cultivation in areas with temperate
climatic conditions including low-lying wet land.
Timothy starts growing early in the spring and offers good production in the autumn. Early types are mainly for conservation with a high first
cut whereas the late types have a prolonged growth over the summer and are well suited to grazing.

COCKSFOOT is a very persistent grass. It grows relatively slowly in the year of sowing but in the second and subsequent years it is very
aggressive. Cocksfoot starts growing early in the spring and regrowth after cutting consists mostly of leafy palatable shoots. Growth in
summertime is important.
Cocksfoot is grown under varying climatic conditions. It is winter hardy and drought tolerant. Early types are mainly used for conservation.
Late types are excellent for grazing.
