Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a perennial grass with a bunch-type growth habit, forming dense tufts without rhizomes. The variety is characterized by high shoot density and fine leaf texture, providing an aesthetic appearance for turf cover.

The variety possesses resistance to a range of diseases, including red thread and anthracnose, and also exhibits tolerance to unfavorable environmental conditions such as heat and drought. The plant has shown allelopathic potential, allowing it to suppress the growth of certain weed species.

Used in professional landscaping for creating lawns on golf courses, in parks, and at commercial sites. Due to its adaptability, the variety is suitable for low-maintenance landscapes and roadside vegetation.
