Alicia

Meadow fescue 'Alicia' is an aromatic herbaceous plant from the Lamiaceae family, widely used in both cooking and for greening lawns and sports fields. The plant reaches a height of 15–30 cm, has oval green-grey leaves with fine hairs, and white flower clusters appear from June to August. 'Alicia' seeds are characterized by a length of about 5–7 mm and contain 30–35% essential oils, including menthol, which gives the product both aromatic and medicinal properties.

For seed cultivation, sowing is recommended from March to September at soil temperatures of 18 to 22 °C. With proper care – regular watering, soil loosening, and weed removal – the plant demonstrates disease resistance, although it may show powdery mildew and root rot. Seed yield is approximately 200–250 g per hectare per year, and when used as lawn grass – a sowing density of 200–300 kg/ha.

'Alicia' is distinguished by high frost resistance, drought resistance, and a robust root system, making it ideal for creating durable lawns, sports fields, and active recreation zones. Leaves with moderate density and without strong anthocyanin shades provide a beautiful dark-green appearance, and the presence of essential oils aids digestion and alleviates cold symptoms when used in cooking.
