Orfeo

Orchardgrass Orfeo – a perennial grass species distinguished by its high wear resistance and cold hardiness. Thanks to its dense turf development and thick cover, it is ideal for creating green lawns on sports fields, recreational areas, and various lawn types. Orfeo can be used in its pure form (100% orchardgrass lawn) or in a mixture with other grasses, such as creeping bentgrass, which ensures a harmonious combination of color and leaf texture.

The grass exhibits high heat tolerance and tolerance to minor saline contamination. It withstands winters, low temperatures, and frost well, retaining its green color even during dry climatic periods. For optimal growth, seeds are recommended to be sown in spring-September, ensuring the soil is moist and slightly compacted after transplanting.

The sowing rate depends on the soil type: on light (sandy) soils – 3–4 kg/100m² (30–40 g/m²), and on heavy (clay-loam) soils – 4–5 kg/100m² (40–50 g/m²). When used in sports lawns, Orfeo typically constitutes about 10–15% of the total mixture mass, ensuring resistance to intensive trampling and rapid regrowth. After planting, the first mowing should be conducted when the grass height reaches 7–10 cm, followed by maintaining a height of 3–5 cm while fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers to stimulate lateral shoot growth.

Thus, orchardgrass Orfeo is a reliable and aesthetically appealing lawn component of any complexity, capable of maintaining a green cover even under harsh climatic conditions.
