Like Sir Bob, it breaks new ground, being ranked #1 by a clear half-point in Turfgrass Seed 2018 Table G1 (see Figure 1)! Its scores for visual merit and shoot density promise to have a major impact as part of a species exchange programme, improving golf greens and out-competing the ubiquitous Poa annua.
