Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the species Festuca rubra, variety Festuca rubra commutata. The plant forms a very dense turf with fine, dark green leaves that retain their color throughout the summer period.

The variety is adapted for use on sports fields, play areas, and ornamental lawns. Its distinctive feature is the ability to maintain density when mowed low to a height of 2–3 cm. Compared to Lolium perenne, the variety requires less water in the summer period.

The plant possesses good resistance to fungal diseases, including Laetisaria fuciformis and powdery mildew. It is characterized by relatively slow development in the year of sowing and reaches full development in the third year.
