{"product_id":"buffalo-grass","title":"Buffalo Grass Seed (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuffalo grass is a warm-season grass native to the Great Plains and well adapted to sunny, lower-rainfall landscapes. This fine-textured, sod-forming species spreads by surface runners to create a durable turf with lower water and mowing requirements than many conventional lawn grasses. It is a strong choice for water-wise lawns, native landscapes, erosion control, and selected grazing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuffalo grass greens during warm weather and naturally becomes tan when dormant in cool weather. Choose a site receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sun, prepare a firm weed-free seedbed, and plant after soil temperatures have reached about 60°F. Consistent surface moisture is important during germination and early establishment; once rooted, deeper and less-frequent irrigation supports resilient growth. Avoid pre-emergent herbicides before or during seeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeeding and establishment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLawns:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–4 lb per 1,000 sq ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePasture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 lb per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 7–30 days with adequate warmth and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature height:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 5 inches when maintained as turf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required; buffalo grass is not a legume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuffalo grass tolerates heat, drought after establishment, cold winters, and moderate traffic, but it is not a good choice for heavily shaded sites or landscapes requiring green winter color.
