The Winter Green variety is mentioned in scientific publications from the middle of the last century as an object of study for the hardening and cold resistance of Festuca rubra and Festuca filiformis tissues. It was characterized by high winter hardiness, which made it significant in the breeding research of that period.
In archival catalogs of the 1970s, the variety appeared in the assortment of the Northrup King Co. It should be noted that the term 'winter green' is often used in agronomic texts as a descriptive characteristic of a grass's ability to maintain a green color during the cold period, rather than as the name of a specific variety.
