A cultivar called BOWIE, medium-green in color. Buffalo Grass has the ability to survive the colder climates in the North and the hot, drier climates of the South. It requires little mowing and less than 1 inch of water per week. A rhizomatous plant with maximum height of 5" for full sun areas and medium to dry soils.

NOTE: this warm season grass remains brown until soil temperatures warm significantly and is best planted at this time. However, it does remain green during the hottest times of summer.

Buffalo Grass is often planted with Blue Grama and Oats as a cover crop. In the corresponding photo, we did just that, along with an erosion control mat of geo-jute on this slope.

Recommended seeding rate: 2-3 lbs. / 1000 sq.ft.
