RHIZOMATOUS TALL FESCUE

RTF Advantage is the most advanced tall fescue for planting your lawn on the market today. If you want a dark green, full turf that has the ability to repair itself of worn or damaged areas, then you only have one choice, RTF Tall Fescue. Call 770-954-9862 to order by phone. Comes in 50 & 25 Lb. Bags

   

PLANT CHARACTERISTICS - RTF is a special blend of two dwarf turf-type fescues and one rhizomatous tall fescue. This premium blend will display excellent germination, growth and color. RTF will become green earlier in the spring and stay green longer in the fall. If your lawn gets heavy use and portions of the lawn thin, RTF will send out rhizomes and fill in the bare spots to give you a healthier and thicker turf!
