Buffalo Grass Seeds - Flower Plant

Buffalo grass, botanically known as Bouteloua dactyloides, is a warm-season perennial grass valued for its low-growing, turf-forming habit and drought tolerance. It develops fine-textured blades and spreads through stolons to form a dense lawn under suitable conditions. This grass thrives in warm climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Buffalo grass is commonly used for lawns, ground cover, and landscape planting, where it establishes from seeds and requires relatively low maintenance once established.
