Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for use on golf course greens. It is distinguished by very high resistance to harsh winter conditions and the ability to withstand oxygen deficiency under ice crusts. The plant is characterized by relatively slow vertical growth.

During trials, high turf density, leaf fineness, and overall visual appearance typical of Agrostis canina were noted, although the variety has a tendency to accumulate thatch.
