Buffalograss (Bouteloua dactyloides (syn. Buchloe))

Buffalograss is a low-growing, warm-season native grass that forms a dense, fine-textured carpet. Its gray-green to blue-green foliage reaches 10-12 inches but appears shorter due to its curling habit. Spreading via rhizomes, it's an excellent low-maintenance alternative to traditional lawns, requiring minimal mowing and irrigation.
