Buffalograss (Buchloe Dactyloides)

A true native of our prairies, Buffalograss is a warm season, fine leafed perennial. This sod forming grass has fast become a favorite lawn and landscape turf throughout most of the country.

Because Buffalograss is native to the Great Plains from Montana to Texas, it tolerates prolonged droughts and very high or low temperatures. This together with its seed producing characteristics enables Buffalograss to survive extreme environmental conditions. 

Buffalograss requires less water, less fertilizer, less mowing, and is more heat, cold and drought tolerant than any other turf grass. We think that Buffalograss will be even more popular as environmental pressures increase for people to use less fertilizer and pesticides. It also produces less thatch and clippings than other grasses helping to reduce waste in our city landfills. 

This popular turf grass is low growing, commonly only four to six inches high. It spreads by surface runners, or stolons, and seed. It forms a fine textured turf with a soft blue-green color. It does not possess underground stems, or rhizomes. Buffalograss is destroyed quite readily by cultivation, and for this reason it can be easily removed from flowerbeds and gardens.
