Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a low-growing creeping plant with a thin, highly branched stem and a developed root system forming stolons. Leaves are large, rounded, green, without pubescence; up to 95% of plants have characteristic white markings on the leaf blades. Inflorescences are dense, spherical, and white.

The plant is distinguished by early spring regrowth and rapid recovery after mowing, providing up to three cuts per vegetation period. The variety possesses high winter hardiness and lodging resistance, as well as increased disease resistance. The dry matter contains approximately 22.3% protein and 17.4% fiber.

Used for creating lawn and forage grass mixtures, as well as a honey plant. The variety's ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen contributes to improving soil fertility and allows for a reduction in nitrogen fertilizer application.
