Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as large-leaved and possesses a more erect habit compared to small-leaved creeping forms. Due to its plant height, the variety effectively competes in the sward with tall grasses.

The plant is focused on forage mass production and is best suited for harvesting as silage or hay. The variety poorly tolerates intensive grazing due to morphological characteristics not adapted to constant trampling.
