Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a dense stand with dark-green leaf color. In the history of breeding, it is known as one of the early successful commercial turf-type varieties that set standards for subsequent generations.

There are other varieties on the market with similar names, such as Derby Nova and Derby Supreme, which are different breeding developments and should not be identified with the original 1975 variety.
