Buffalo Grass: The Native Turf for Tough Conditions

Buffalo grass isn't just drought-tolerant—it's a true native survivor. This low-growing perennial (max 6 inches) thrives in alkaline soils, withstands extreme heat and cold, and requires minimal mowing, fertilizing, or watering once established. It's the go-to grass for reclamation, low-maintenance lawns, and sustainable landscapes across the Great Plains and beyond.

More Than Just Tough

Livestock love grazing it, making it a dual-purpose pasture grass. Its deep roots improve soil structure and sequester carbon. Seed is widely available from native-plant specialists who provide planting guides for your region. For areas where traditional turf struggles, buffalo grass isn't a compromise—it's the correct ecological choice.
