Bouteloua dactyloides
Buffalograss
Buffalograss is the ultimate choice for a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant warm-season grass, perfect for eco-friendly lawns, pastures, and natural landscapes. This native perennial grass thrives in full sun and a wide range of soil types, from sandy to clay, while requiring significantly less water than traditional turf grasses. Known for its fine texture and soft, vibrant green appearance, Buffalograss creates a beautiful, durable lawn or pasture with minimal care.
Ideal for water-conscious landscaping, Buffalograss is resistant to heat, drought, and pests, making it an excellent sustainable option. Once established, it requires little mowing or fertilization, while providing a soft, barefoot-friendly surface.
