Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a dark green sward with a medium-fine leaf texture and dense turf. The plant is characterized by slow growth, which reduces the need for frequent mowing, and the ability to recover quickly after damage due to the development of underground rhizomes.

It possesses high resistance to a wide spectrum of diseases, including leaf and stem rust, powdery mildew, dollar spot, and root rots. The variety demonstrates good adaptability to stress conditions, including drought, heat, and partial shading.

The variety is intended for creating high-quality lawns on sports grounds, golf courses, in parks, and on private plots. It can be used as a standalone crop or as part of grass mixtures, including for sod cultivation.
