Narrative

Bright green, low-growing Kentucky bluegrass that exhibits excellent turf quality at mowing heights as low as 1.3 cm. Good resistance to billbugs (Sphenophorus spp.) and to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis). Adapted to temperate climates and is recommended for turf uses including lawns, sports fields, and golf course fairways and roughs. Particularly well suited for areas that are maintained at mowing heights less than 3.5 cm. May be planted as a monostand, in blends with other turf-type Kentucky bluegrasses, or in mixtures with turf-type perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) or tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea).
