Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant belongs to cool-season bunchgrasses and is a hexaploid. The variety forms short dark-green leaves without a waxy bloom and has a semi-spreading habit. In terms of heading time, it is classified as an early or very early variety.

The plant possesses high turf density, is resistant to trampling, and is capable of developing in poor soils. The variety is distinguished by high seed germination energy and improved mowing tolerance, which allows for its use on golf courses.

The variety is resistant to a wide range of diseases, including red thread, leaf spot, summer patch, Fusarium patch (snow mold), and dollar spot. It is used for creating lawns at park, commercial, and residential sites, as well as for land reclamation.
