Narrative
Interspecific, sterile hybrid, warm season, perennial sod forming turfgrass with vigorous, underground rhizomes and aggressive, surface stolens. Growth habit decumbent, medium to fine texture with hardiness to -20 deg. F and excellent sod strength. Infloresences infrequent and no viable seed are produced; therefore vegetatively propagated. Aggressive nature and recuperative potential make ideally suited for use on sports fields. In comparative tests, shown good tolerance to Spring Dead Spot (Ophiosphaerella herpotricha)
