Narrative

Fine, dense, low-growing attractive turf. In tests in northern and southern U.S., darker green color than other buffalograsses early in the growing season and comparable color during the rest of the season. In 1993, highest turfgrass quality average of 20 entries in the buffalograss trial sponsored by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. Compared to other commercially available buffalograsses, will green-up earlier in the spring, but go dormant earlier in the fall. Establishes at a slower rate than the more aggressive, southern-adapted buffalograsses.
