Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the group of slender fescues and is used primarily as a component of sports and universal lawn grass mixtures, often in combination with Poa pratensis and Lolium perenne.

Externally, the variety is distinguished by a thin leaf blade and a dark green color; with sufficient irrigation, it forms a thick and dense sward. In agronomic studies, it is classified as an old variety susceptible to leaf spot and is considered as an object of study for resistance to snow mold.
