Description
Buffalo grass is a warm-season grass native to the North American plains, with fine, grey-green leaves. It grows low and spreads by runners. It's one of the most drought-tolerant lawn grasses and is sold per square metre.
Why buffalo grass?
- One of the most drought-tolerant grasses – if it gets thirsty it browns, then greens up again once watered.
- Needs very little water compared with other lawn grasses.
- Needs little mowing and feeding, so it's easy to look after.
- A fine texture and a calm grey-green colour.
Where to plant it
Areas in full sun: front gardens, around villas and large spaces where you want green cover on less water. It doesn't take shade, so don't plant it under trees or next to high walls.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: full, direct sun – it doesn't tolerate shade.
- Water: water regularly until it establishes and spreads, then sparingly. In summer heat without enough water it browns and goes dormant, and recovers after watering.
- Mowing: needs little mowing. Cutting off the dead leaves before new growth starts speeds up green-up.
- Feeding: a little fertilizer is enough.
- Winter: it may lose its green colour in the cool months and come back as it warms.
- Preparation: level the ground well and add agricultural soil for better drainage before planting.
Sizes
- One square metre: order the number of square metres you need.
Available with or without planting service.
Three things to get right.
Lighting
Needs full, direct sun all day.
Watering
Water regularly until it spreads, then lightly and less often.
Temperature & humidity
A warm-season grass that grows in heat and may lose colour in the cool months.
No, it needs full sun. For part-shaded areas choose St. Augustine grass.
Measure the length and width of the area and multiply them, then order that number of square metres.
With too little water in the heat it goes dormant and browns. Water deeply and it will green up again.
