Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was bred in Northern Norway with an emphasis on high winter hardiness. The plant is well adapted to low temperatures and long daylight conditions, which makes it a reliable component of grass stands in northern latitudes.

It is used as a forage crop for hay production, silage, and grazing, often as part of grass mixtures. The quality of the product and the nutritional value of the feed depend on the plant's growth stage at the time of mowing.
