Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety possesses the Lateral Spread trait, which ensures active lateral spreading and the formation of a dense, dark green turf with a medium to coarse leaf texture.

The plant is characterized by a compact growth habit, allowing for a lower mowing height compared to traditional varieties. The recommended optimal mowing height is 5–7.5 cm.

The variety is intended for professional and residential landscaping, as well as sports fields. It exhibits high tolerance to intensive trampling, drought, and the fungal disease brown patch.
