Variety description

10 August 2026

Melrose is used primarily as a lawn grass and as a plant for soil stabilization, particularly for erosion control on slopes and roadsides. The plant is valued for its longevity, competitiveness against weeds, and the formation of a dense sward.

This variety is a perennial bunchgrass with narrow bristle-like leaves. It possesses high drought tolerance, is suitable for cultivation in dry climates, and is distinguished by frost resistance and the ability to grow in poor soils. When used for pasture purposes, the variety demonstrates good regrowth rates.
