Phleum pratense, commonly known as timothy grass, is a perennial grass species native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It is widely used as forage for livestock due to its high nutritional value and palatability. The grass typically grows to a height of 60 to 100 cm and produces dense, cylindrical flower heads that can reach up to 10 cm in length. Timothy grass thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is often found in meadows, pastures, and hay fields. This grass is particularly valued in the production of hay for animals such as horses and rabbits, making it an important crop in agriculture.
