Plantain Tonic

Winter active herb

Tonic is an excellent, versatile perennial herb used in pastures for sheep and cattle. TONIC is highly adaptable to different ground and climate types because of its deep, dense root system and a suitable 2-3 year crop option due to its genetic toughness, resulting in a positive impact on milk production when grass quality decreases in summer.
