Description
Buffalo grass is a warm-season grass native to North America with fine to medium blades and excellent drought tolerance. It forms a lowmaintenance turf that is well-suited for naturalized areas and low-traffic lawns in dry climates.
Planting Instructions:
Plant Buffalo grass seeds or plugs in late spring or early summer after the last frost when soil temperatures consistently reach 60°F (15°C) or higher. Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 4-6 inches. Sow seeds evenly or space plugs 6-12 inches apart with good soil contact. Keep the soil moist until seeds germinate or plugs establish roots, typically within 14-21 days.
