Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the tetraploid types of perennial ryegrass. It possesses an open growth habit, which allows it to combine well in grass mixtures with other crops, such as white clover. It is classified as a late-maturing and late-flowering variety.

The plant is distinguished by high nutritional value, leafiness, and dense tillering, which contributes to improving the quality of summer forage. The variety is effectively used for livestock grazing, as well as for silage and hay production.

The variety possesses moderate winter hardiness and relatively low or moderate susceptibility to crown rust. It has been used in breeding programs, particularly for the creation of Festulolium hybrids.
