Narrative
Medium-coarse textured vegetatively propagated clone which is noted specifically for tolerance to low light conditions (shade), and low water use, excellent cold hardiness, and rapid recuperative ability. Intermediate in salt tolerance. Suitable for use as a warm-season turfgrass for golf course fairways, and roughs, shaded tee boxes throughout the transition zone, home lawns, sports fields, industrial parks, and highway medians. Optimim mowing height will range from 1.0-5.0 cm. On tees and fairways, mowing heights of 6-8 mm is possible with acceptable results. Warm-season, sod-forming grass from Asia. Used for general-purpose turf and erosion control in southeastern U.S. Relatively winter-hardy, but does not thrive or compete well where summers are short or cool. Grows best on heavy soils. Not drought resistant. Relatively coarse and tough. Produces seed, but generally planted vegetatively.
