LAVERDA

Dense & fine leaved with improved visual merit in summer

Excellent visual merit

The overall visual merit is high, and with an improvement during the summer months that makes LAVERDA a perfect choice for ornamental mixtures for parks and homelawns.

The colour of leaves is medium green.

Tolerance to several diseases

The visual aspect is defended by good tolerance to common diseases like Microdochium patch, fusarium blight, leaf spot and red thread disease.

Wear and tear tolerance

LAVERDA shows improved tolerance to wear, allowing to include it for use in lawns exposed to traffic, play & game.

The abundant production of rhizomes helps recolonising bare spots and is enhancing the persistency.
