Tall-Fescue
Festuca arundinacea
Tall Fescues are a species for warmer and drier climates. This species has very good heat tolerance and requires less nitrogen and irrigation than perennial ryegrass, but is slower to establish. The variety's broad leaves keep a green color very well under dry conditions.
Tall Fescue requires a high seeding rate due to seed weight and size. Improved, dwarf varieties are finer leafed and have improved tolerance to low cutting and to wear. Used in combination with other species, the Tall Fescue content should be at least 60% of the mixture.

Turf Saver RTF
Labarinth is the first RTFTM variety. The name Labarinth highlights the traits of RTF, while still showing its heritage! Labarinth is bred for increasing rhizome number and rhizome length in turf. The rhizomes produced by Labarinth form a labyrinth or mesh of roots unequaled by any other variety, making this a unique variety.
Rhizomatous Tall Fescue (RTFTM) is a new type of tall fescue, which produces rhizomes. A rhizome is a creeping stem or runner that extends outward from the main plant underground. The rhizome will send a shoot up to the soil surface while extending new roots downward, forming a new plant. RTF behaves like a bluegrass, but like any other fescue it will survive the transition zone. The only seed you'll ever need!
