  • Description

  • Notes

This buffalograss selection was chosen for its lush green look and lower habit. Has a look similar to bluegrass, but still retains its outstanding hardiness and xeric nature. Virtually pollen free. Quicken growing than the species, it forms a dense lawn that can withstand heavy foot traffic, pests, and diseases. Grows 4 to 6 inches tall, unmowed. Also greens up earlier in the spring and holds its color later in the fall than does the species.
