Narrative
Fine leafed, low growing bunchgrass which lacks rhizomes. Medium dark green, fine bladed, stress tolerant. In cool summer climates can provide attractive turf with limited fertilizer and is tolerant of rather close mowing. Improved resistance to red thread incited by Lanzia and Moelloerodiscus spp. Produces significantly less thatch and exhibits excellent heat and cold tolerance and often retains attractive green color under moderate abiotic stress. Under extreme drought will enter stress induced dormancy.
