Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is diploid and is distinguished by a genetically dark, intense green color. The plants form a compact, dense, and uniform turf that effectively suppresses weeds. The variety possesses high germination energy, rapid establishment, and contains endophytes that increase resistance to insect pests and high temperatures.

The plant possesses high resistance to major turfgrass diseases, including rust and leaf spot. The variety is characterized by high wear tolerance and rapid recovery ability, and it also tolerates low sports mowing well.

It is used on golf courses, playgrounds, in parks, and for creating residential lawns. It is also frequently used for overseeding existing swards, including as a winter lawn in regions with mild climates.
