Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a dense sod that prevents weed germination and possesses a fine-leaf texture. The plant is characterized by rapid rooting and the ability to adapt to sites with low maintenance requirements, including parks, residential lawns, and roadside areas.

During testing, the variety demonstrated high drought tolerance and increased resistance to leaf spot. To maintain sward quality, the recommended mowing height is from 3.8 to 7.6 cm.
