About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Buffalograss is a low-growing warm-season grass for sunny landscapes where a natural-looking lawn or open ground cover is desired. Its fine texture and spreading habit make it useful for regionally suitable turf projects with good light and prepared soil.
Use it in open areas rather than heavily shaded sites, then allow the planting time to establish before judging density or coverage. Seasonal performance varies with climate, soil preparation, rainfall, and routine lawn care, so adjust maintenance to local conditions.
