Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a dense stand and has the ability for vegetative spread via rhizomes, which contributes to the creation of an even surface. It is characterized by good initial growth vigor and early spring regrowth.

The plant is used for creating high-quality lawns, including golf courses. The slow growth rate of the variety allows for a reduction in mowing frequency, while it possesses high wear tolerance.
