Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a low-growing perennial plant 15–30 cm tall with long creeping branched stems and dense foliage. It was developed to improve winter hardiness and spring growth metrics based on genetic resources collected in Switzerland.

The plant is used for livestock grazing in grass mixtures and for creating ornamental lawns due to its resistance to trampling and low mowing requirements. The variety also promotes natural soil nitrogen enrichment and is effectively used as a living mulch to increase the yield of other crops.
