Description

Dancing is a new top variety for use in mixtures for golf greens and ornamental purposes. The variety has superb shoot density and a close mowing tolerance down to 4 mm. This makes Dancing the best choice for the overseeding of tees, fairways and greens. The variety has excellent red thread resistance and maintains a healthy colour, even if nitrogen applications are decreased. Moreover, Dancing mixes very well with species such as Agrostis capillaris in green mixtures and fine leaved Lolium perenne in tee and fairway mixtures.
