Buffalo Supreme grass seed is a two-way blend of Topgun and SWI-2000 (Prairie Thunder) buffalo grasses. This Buffalo Supreme grass blend is comprised of two leading buffalo grasses on the market today designed to create a better turf density. Buffalo Supreme grass seed can be used for natural looking golf course roughs, roadside plantings, airport landscaping, parkland, and of course home lawn where low maintenance is desired. In fact, Buffalo Supreme grass seed can be left unmowed and will only reach a maximum height of approximately 6 inches.

This Buffalo Supreme grass blend is dense enough to reduce weed encroachment, due to its excellent stolon development and some rhizomes which spread across the ground to create new buffalo grass and keep weeds out. However, if you are looking for a prairie meadow look and want to add wildflowers to your buffalo grass blend; no problem! You do not have to mow buffalo grass; however, mowing once or twice a year to remove old growth in early spring or late summer, will produce the best results and keep these low maintenance areas looking their best. For greater turf density, mow more frequently. The more you mow, the more dense the turf becomes and will produce a fairly dense sod and a high quality turf that is extremely drought and heat tolerant.

Topgun is one of the best turf varieties on the market, was developed for its color, density, height, early green-up and late dormancy. The dark green color and short growth – 4 to 5 inches – make it the most desirable for the landscape. It is faster spreading and has a denser turf than most other varieties. Topgun is the first Buffalograss that is approved under the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVP) and is certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture. In the National Turfgrass Evaluation Trials, it was rated high for its leaf texture, density and frost tolerances, meaning it stays green longer in the fall.

Buffalo grass will grow best at elevations lower than about 6,500 feet and in very sunny areas. Topgun buffalo grass is a turf-type seeded buffalo grass developed for a diverse range of climates and geographical regions. Topgun is an aggressive low maintenance, dense, fine textured buffalograss that can be established from seed. More and more homeowners are discovering Buffalograss. Gone are the days when everyone wanted to spend lots of time watering their yard or their money buying a sprinkler system, not to mention the choice of mowing "once in a while" compared to getting out the lawnmower every week. This combined with the recommendation that no fertilizer is actually required.

SWI-2000 is an open-pollinated variety that was developed for increased seedling vigor. SWI-2000 is the fastest seeded buffalograss to fill-in as tested by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. The secret is that it was bred for larger seed size, these larger seeds have more stored carbohydrates to help the seed jump out of the ground. It is also the number 1 ranked buffalograss either seeded or vegetative for turfgrass quality.

Buffalograss is adapted to Climate Zones 3-11. Buffalograss is the most cold tolerant of the warm season turfgrasses. Ideally adapted to areas that receive 16 - 35 inches of rainfall. Buffalograss is adapted to warm or cool semi-arid climates in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America. SWI-2000 should be planted when soil temperatures are consistently above 60° F. For best results, plant in sites with 6 to 8 hours of full sun on well-drained soil and soil moisture must be maintained for at least 1 to 2 weeks after planting through irrigation or natural rainfall. Under ideal conditions, germination may begin within 14 to 21 days.

• Grows best in areas receiving at least 6 to 8 hours direct sunlight per day
• Good soil drainage is essential
• Not suited to sandy soils

• Seeding date: When sustained soil temperature reaches 60 degrees
• Seeding rate: 2 - 3 lbs seed/1,000 sq. ft. into a firm seed bed
• Seeding depth: 0.25 to 0.5 inches deep
• Keep soil moist through emergence
• Apply 0.75 lb N/1,000 sq. ft. with starter fert.
• Weed control: Plant into weed free seed bed. Keep turf mowed frequently to reduce competition from weeds and encourage the tiller growth and spreading of buffalo grass. Apply Drive 75 DF Herbicide.

• 2 to 4 inches for home lawns
• Low maintenance areas may be mowed taller or not at all
• Frequency is affected by amount of watering and fertilizer
• Avoid removing more than one-third the turf height at any one mowing

• Deep soak with no less than 1 inch once a month from July to September for higher maintenance areas, depending on natural precipitation.
• Soak soil before winter if soil is dry
• Occasional or no watering for low maintenance areas
• Keep buffalo grass seed moist until it germinates

• First application - 3 weeks after green up
• Second application - 8 weeks later
• 1 to 3 lbs actual nitrogen/1,000 sq. ft/season
• Less on low maintenance and natural areas
• Use higher rates for best quality

• Avoid frequent watering, short mowing and over fertilization
• Minimize early season watering
• Control broadleaf weeds in the fall and/or spring
• Apply pre-emergent in the spring for grassy weeds
• Don't use a pre-emergent if planting buffalo grass seed
• Many cool season weeds can be controlled with Round-up when buffalograss is dormant. Round-up must be applied prior to buffalograss breaking dormancy in spring.
