Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the category of turf grasses and is used as source material for creating new varieties of the crop. It is valued for its high turf quality indicators, including resistance to brown rust and brown leaf spot.

During breeding trials, the variety demonstrated positive ornamental characteristics. Other breeding lines of fescue, distinguished by fine leaf texture and saturated color, were subsequently developed based on it.
