Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the "European" type with an upright habit and is characterized as late-maturing. The plant contains condensed tannins, which prevent bloat in ruminants during grazing.

The plant possesses high winter hardiness and the ability to develop in adverse soil conditions, including acidic and waterlogged soils. The variety is noted for good seed germination energy and, with intensive management, is capable of producing up to three cuts per season.

The variety is intended for establishing pastures, hayfields, and for inclusion in grass mixtures with cereal crops to improve forage quality.
