Variety description

10 August 2026

The Spyder Ls variety (sometimes referred to as Z-2000) belongs to the category of lateral spread (LS) plants, which provides for the formation of short underground shoots, or rhizomes, for the growth and recovery of the turf. The variety is intended for establishing lawns in parks, sports facilities, and home gardens.

The plant has high turf density, fine leaf texture, and a dark green color. The variety is characterized by compact growth, which reduces the need for frequent mowing. Many lots contain endophytic fungi, which increase resistance to insects.

The variety exhibits varying degrees of resistance to diseases such as brown patch, gray leaf spot, and net blotch. Spyder Ls is not a forage variety and was specifically bred to improve the aesthetic and performance qualities of lawn turf.
