Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a bunch-type grass that does not form distinct rhizomes or stolons. The plant has thin, stiff, needle-like foliage and forms a dense, vertically oriented sward.

The variety is intended for the establishment of high-quality lawns, golf courses, and shaded areas. It is capable of maintaining its aesthetic qualities under low fertilization, exhibits resistance to dollar spot and drought, and is characterized by early spring green-up.
