Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is used in professional lawn mixtures for creating surfaces on golf courses, including greens and fairways, as well as on sports grounds. The plant is characterized by excellent visual qualities, fine leaf texture, and high density of turf formation.

In agronomic studies, the variety demonstrates resistance to diseases and adaptability to climatic conditions characteristic of the southern and coastal zones of Scandinavia. The variety is intended exclusively for ornamental and sports purposes, and not for forage production.
