Timothy grass is one of the most popular cool-season perennial grasses in some regions, such as North-Eastern and North-Western USA, Eastern Canada and Nordic countries (Cherney et al., 2011; Bernes et al., 2008; BÃ©langer et al., 2001).
Leaves vary in length from a few inches to a foot and are about 1â4 inch wide, narrowing gently toward the tip. Heads are spike-like and dense, from 2 to 6 inches in length. Seed is very small and usually remains enclosed in the glumes. There are approximately 1,152,000 seeds per pound. Timothy is different from most other grasses in that 1 or occasionally 2 of the basal internodes of the stem swell into a bulb-like growth. This characteristic is often used for identification of the plant during is early stages of growth.
