Buffalo grass is a grass that doesn’t need a lot of water. It can survive a drought, cold weather, disease or any insects. It’s a pretty bluish green color sod grass, grows rather short, only three to six inches, and is a bit curly. Buffalo grass is seen mainly through the Great Plains states from Minnesota to Montana, into Texas and even as far south as Mexico.
This grass is very attractive and is used a lot for large areas such as parks, schools, industrial parks and businesses. People who have a lot of property with their home also like this grass. It saves on the water bill and doesn’t need a lot of care. The main advantage is very little watering, and with that, another advantage comes into play. The grass doesn’t need a lot of mowing. It is advised to mow at least once a year, the best time being in the late winter. It really should be mowed more often than that, but compared to regular grass, this isn’t a lot of work.
Since it grows and tolerates a drought so well, there is one thing that it doesn’t tolerate. That one thing is shade. This is one grass that can withstand days of relentless hot sun, but doesn’t take well to some shade.
The best soil to grow buffalo grass is heavier soil such as well-drained clay and loam soil that is very rich. It can also do well in rocky limestone soil. When winter and cold temperatures arrive, this grass will go dormant. This also happens during a season of low rainfall. At this time, the grass turns from yellow to golden brown.
More advantages to this fascinating grass is that it tolerates foot traffic very well. No irrigation or fertilization is needed. However, a small application in the springtime make the grass more beautiful and lush. Don’t use too much fertilizer because that will only encourage more weeds and Bermuda grass to appear.
Right after planting the buffalo grass, it is very important to control and kill the weeds before they take over. This is especially a problem with the buffalo grass. If everything is done properly, a beautiful lawn of buffalo grass will be yours for many years, and without a lot of work.
