Recommendations for Buffalograss
Seeded Varieties (will be a mixture of male and female plants)
- Bison
- Bowie
- Cody
- Plains
- Top Gun
The varieties “Texoka” and “Sharp’s Improved” will produce a lesser quality lawn. Certain varieties of buffalograss are only available in vegetative form (sod or plugs).
Vegetative Varieties (female only; planted as sod or plugs)
- Legacy
- Prestige
- Turffalo
These varieties will form the best quality buffalograss lawn but are more expensive than using the seeded cultivars. The variety “609” may suffer winter injury/winterkill in northern Colorado. The variety “Prairie” is likely to winterkill in northern Colorado.
