Variety description

10 August 2026

The Guardian 21 variety is characterized by dark green leaf color and fine leaf blade texture. The plant possesses good resistance to brown patch caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani. Seedlings emerge in a period from 8 to 21 days.

The variety is intended for creating high-quality lawns on golf course fairways, sports grounds, and residential areas. It can be used both in monoculture and in grass mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, or other fescues to improve turf density.
