Timothy grass (Phleum pratense) is a perennial grass species commonly used as forage for livestock, particularly horses and rabbits. It is known for its high fiber content, palatability, and nutritional value, making it a popular choice for hay production. Timothy grass thrives in well-drained soils and is typically harvested in early to mid-summer for optimal quality. Its name comes from Timothy Hanson, who popularized its cultivation in the 18th century.
