Details: RTF (rhizomatous tall fescue) is the latest innovation in turf. It is a new type of tall fescue, which produces rhizomes. A rhizome is an underground stem that grows outwards from the main plant, producing more shoots as it goes. In this way RTF has the ability to repair itself, and produce a nice dense mat of grass.
RTF has quite a broad leaf, so it is not suitable if you want a very fine looking lawn.
RTF has a remarkable root system, that can grow down to a depth of 1.5m (nearly 5 feet!). This gives RTF the ability to withstand periods of drought and waterlogging. And because the roots extend such a long way, the grass needs less fertiliser. FREE DELIVERY
