Cimarron VR is recognized fore its long stand persistence. While stand life varies, the projected rotation period for most areas is six years. Cimarron VR was bred from winterhardy germplasm to give more vigor and a fuller growing season. Cimarron VR has a fall dormancy rating of 4 and resists frost damage and winterkill as well as varieties with ratings of 2 and 3. Plant growth is tall and upright.
Crowns are broad and deep.
The root system is well developed and slightly branching. Flower color is purple and blue. Resistance to leaf diseases allows this premium variety to hold its lower leaves, even in wet seasons when harvest is delayed. Frost resistance allows the plant to remain green and hold its leaves longer in the fall. Independent research show Cimarron VR to be suitable for both rotational and continuous grazing.
