Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the turf grass group and is not intended for forage purposes. It is distinguished by its dark green color, high turf quality, and ability to tolerate close mowing well. The plant contains endophytes that increase its overall stress tolerance.

The plant possesses improved resistance to wear, gray leaf spot, and Pythium root rot, while displaying susceptibility to dollar spot. Due to its texture and color, the variety blends well with other cool-season grass species in grass mixtures and is suitable for overseeding into warm-season grass species.
