Buffalo Grass
(Buchloe dactyloides)

Code: BDAC Category: Grass Seeds Tags: Reclamation, U.S. Native, Warm Season Grass Seed, Wildlife, Xeriscape

Buffalo Grass is a warm-season grass and predominant component of the shortgrass prairies of the Great Plains. Once established, it is extremely drought tolerant and tough. It can be used as a xeriscape lawn grass for water conservation, and it is a common component in range mixtures. White Tailed Deer, Bison and Prairie Dogs utilize it for forage, and it is a larval host for the Green Skipper. Plants are stoloniferous and can invade flower beds if an edging or barrier is not used.
