Buffalo grass.

  I feel I may have written about this subject before but this is a new year and our buffalo grass is already starting to green up and I just love how it spreads and nearly chokes out all the weeds where the grass is the thickest.

  What IS This Magical Grass?
Buffalo grass (Bouteloua dactyloides) isn’t some fancy, new hybrid. It’s a tough-as-nails native of the Great Plains, perfectly adapted to the climate right here in Syracuse, Kansas (and beyond!). For centuries, it carpeted the prairies, providing grazing for bison (hence the name!). Now, it can be the answer to your lawn care prayers.

  Could Buffalo Grass be the answer to your lawn care woes?
  But Wait, There’s More! (Addressing Potential Concerns)
  Okay, okay, it sounds good, right? But you might have some questions. Let’s tackle a few:
• It’s not as aggressively green as some other grasses: True, it has a more natural, sometimes slightly blue-green hue. But think of it as a sophisticated, understated green, not a screaming emerald.
• It goes dormant in the winter: Like many native grasses, buffalo grass will turn tan or brown during the cold months. But it greens up beautifully again in the spring! Think of it as a seasonal rest.
• Establishment takes patience: Buffalo grass can be a bit slower to establish than sod. But trust us, the long-term payoff is worth the initial patience.
