Buffalo Supreme Buffalo Grass Seed

Buffalo Supreme Grass Seed

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 Buffalo Grass

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.
