RTF Characteristics

Self-repairing turf

  • Fills in open areas in the lawn by means of rhizomes
  • Knits the lawn together
  • Quickly fills in damaged or open spots with new shoots of grass

Strong, deep root system

  • Ability to draw its moisture from a deep profile
  • Excellent drought and heat tolerant with less irrigation
  • Excellent in the transition zone climate

Produces a thick even lawn

  • Ability to repair itself – repairs open areas within a lawn
  • Produces rhizomes that initiate new grass growth

Excellent color and disease resistant

  • Withstands stressful weather conditions
  • Holds its rich green color, even through winter’s low temperatures

Rapid germination and quick spring green-up

  • Establishes quickly
  • Early spring green-up – have a greener lawn earlier in the spring

Higher value for the home owner than conventional tall fescues

  • Ordinary tall fescues require maintenance from overseeding, weed problems, and clumps. RTF results in less overseeding, fewer weed problems and no "wide-leafed ugly clumps" of tall fescue plants in open areas.

Fine leafed

  • The RTF variety “Labarinth” is very fine leafed for a tall fescue. It is probably the finest leafed tall fescue variety on the market today!

High endophyte content

  • The RTF variety Labarinth has a high content of endophyte, ensuring heat and pest tolerance.
