Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as an elite lawn type intended for use on golf courses, sports facilities, park areas, and residential lawns. The plant is characterized by high turf density and fine leaf texture.

The appearance of the variety is distinguished by a saturated dark green color. The variety shows good resistance to summer diseases, which allows for maintaining cover quality under high humidity. Fast rooting times, typical for dark-colored varieties, are noted, along with moderate growth rates during the winter period.
