Buffalo grass is so named because it was a primary food source of the American buffalo stretching across the Great Plains into the Mexican region and in most of Texas. Being a native grass it survives on some of the toughest areas and is drought resistant, curly, and low growing, fine in texture, surviving in hot and cooler temperatures. Buffalo grass can be used in a native- type lawn and interseeded with wildflowers for that area since it grows in a rather thinly turfed pattern unless properly enticed to thicken for a full lawn. Meadow plantings of this grass are beautiful in the bluish-gray coloring of the grass.
