Plantain (Plantago), Captain

Captain is a narrow-leaved, winter active plantain variety. Persistence trialling has shown Captain performs well as a component of a perennial pasture for the first 3 years. Captain has a very erect growth habit with narrow leaves, which complements the growth habit of ryegrass and clovers, making it an exceptional fit for multi-species pastures.
