Variety traits
Agrostis stolonifera L.
The height of generative shoots in creeping bentgrass ranges from 15 to 90 cm. In agronomy, the key factor is not the height of vegetative mass, but the intensity of creeping stolon formation and the species' high tolerance to extremely low mowing.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Creeping bentgrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
Botanically, the height of generative shoots of creeping bentgrass is typically 15–40 cm, although it may reach 60–90 cm under favorable conditions. In turfgrass management, the physical height of the plant is regulated by intensive mowing, as the species possesses high tolerance to cutting at heights below 1 cm, making it highly valued for professional sports surfaces.
A key morphological feature of the species is the dominance of horizontal growth over vertical growth due to the development of long, rooting stolons. In agronomic practice, stem height is considered an agrotechnical risk: delayed mowing of generative shoots degrades the aesthetic quality of the turf and creates maintenance challenges during the spring period.
