1 Oz Buffalo Grass Seed Native Prairie Sedge Low Maintenance Drought Heat Turf – Grass Seeds For Lawn

Buffalograss is a warm-season, perennial native grass that forms a sod and the
mature height is generally 8 inches or less. Buffalograss is native to the
Great Plains from Canada to Mexico. Buffalograss is a dioecious species having
separate male and female plants. The male plant, when flowering, has an erect
stem with a flag-like spike. The female plant forms a burr below the canopy
which contains and the seed. Buffalograss has fine-textured leaves and spreads
by runners or stolons. Buffalograss prefers well-drained clay loam and clay
soils. Buffalograss is thought of as a “dual-purpose” grass since it has long
been used for both ranges as well as turf applications. The low-maintenance
aspect of buffalograss has created great interest in developing new turfgrass
cultivars with increased leaf density, faster establishment and improved
color.

Buffalograss is a dominant grass in a shortgrass prairie. Grows slower than
typical turf grass. Buffalo Grass can be mowed several times per year or left
in place for a natural look. If mowing, a minimum height of 2”-3” will help
the grass compete with weeds. Like warm-season turf grasses, it will turn
dormant and brown mid-fall through spring.
