Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the group of early-flowering clovers intended for the creation of long-lasting clover-grass mixtures. The plants possess the ability for active regeneration and ensure stable yields of forage mass throughout several years of cultivation.

A key feature is high resistance to anthracnose, which allows maintaining viability during hot periods, as well as good resistance to Sclerotinia and powdery mildew. In terms of winter hardiness and survival over three years of cultivation, the variety outperforms many analogs of its type.
