The Only Sod You Will Ever Need!®
Rhizomatous Tall Fescue (RTF©) is an advanced generation of turf-type tall fescue which produces rhizomes. A rhizome is an underground stem that penetrates laterally through the soil to spread the plant. Rhizomes send shoots up to the soil surface while extending new roots downward, forming a new plant. The rhizomatous nature of RTF is similar to Kentucky bluegrass but RTF develops a deeper root system and can go longer between watering. Green Valley Turf Co. is the RTF© licensed grower for the Denver/Metro area and the front range.
