Buffalo grass is the only true indigenous warm season turf grass grown in the mid- southern United States. Buffalo grass is so named because it was a primary food source of the American buffalo stretching across the Great Plains into the Mexican region and in most of Texas.
Being a native grass it survives on some of the toughest areas and is drought resistant, curly, and low growing, fine in texture, surviving in hot and cooler temperatures. It was the only source that could be utilized by the early farmers who built their "sod " homes from the cut sections of the acres of grass growing on the plains.
Buffalo grass can be used in a native type lawn and inter-seeded with wildflowers for that area since it grows in a rather thinly turfed pattern unless properly enticed to thicken for a full lawn. Meadow plantings of this grass are beautiful in the bluish-gray coloring of the grass. Golf course roughs and fairways. Erosion control sites, roadsides, low maintenance sites parks, playgrounds, natural settings, hospitals, etc. Can be planted with small sod or plug sections on a moist bed. Used extensively in pastures.
