How to keep Phleum Subulatum.
Light
Italian timothy comes from bright, open habitats and performs best in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which is annual or biennial, is recognized for its sun-loving nature.
Temperature
Italian timothy can tolerate a broad range of temperatures, but its spread may still be restricted by various combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures can raise the chance of Italian timothy dying. In winter, suitable protection from cold can increase the plant’s survival chances.
