Narrative
In seed production, very distinctive low-growing dark green plant, with first-year culm length averaging 54 cm at maturity, and second year length averaging 43 cm. Culm length is greatest at the center of a clonal plant, tapering 10 cm shorter toward the perimeter of the plant. Rhizome growth in one year from a single tiller averages 42 cm. In 1995 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program trials for Kentucky bluegrass, ranked 32nd in overall turfgrass quality out of 103 cvs. Displayed dark genetic color, fine leaf texture, good spring and summer density, and improved resistance to stem (Puccinia graminis) and crown rust (Puccinia coronato), pink snow mold (Microdochium nivale), spring melting out (Drechslera poae), and chinch bug (Blissus spp.)
