Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the compact type of Kentucky bluegrass and possesses the ability for active rhizome formation. Externally, it is characterized by a low-growing growth habit, medium to fine leaf texture, and a moderately dark green color. The variety is noted for its early spring green-up.

The plant exhibits high winter hardiness, resistance to trampling, and displays genetic resistance to leaf spot and summer patch, as well as moderate resistance to Fusarium blight, dollar spot, and stripe smut. A certain degree of salt and drought tolerance is noted.

The variety is intended for the creation of professional landscape lawns, sports fields, and golf courses. Due to its characteristics, it is suitable for use in elite seed mixtures and for the production of sod.
