This Buffalo grass seed 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 Buffalograss 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.

The Grass Seed Certification program establishes the genetic purity and germination of varieties, blends, and mixtures. The certification process begins with the proper field history before production and continues through the bagging of a grass seed lot with every step independently verified by Seed Certification personnel. Each buffalo grass seed lot to be certified is sampled by Certification personnel and tested in the state seed laboratory, so the grass seed you buy is the seed that was tested If even one standard in this process failed, the lot is uncertified. You can rest assured that your buffalo grass seed is certified!
