Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the subspecies of red fescue Festuca rubra rubra, which is called strongly rhizomatous. The plant forms rhizomes, which contributes to the formation of a dense turf and the ability to recover after minor damage. The plant's leaves are narrow and dark green in color.

The variety possesses good resistance to drought conditions, is low-maintenance, and is characterized by rapid resumption of growth in spring. According to classification documents, at the time of panicle emergence, the variety is classified as having a medium to high growth type.

The plant is a versatile lawn variety used in landscaping. Due to its ability to tolerate shade, low temperatures, and drought, it is often used in professional lawn mixtures for areas that do not require complex maintenance.
