Description:  Buffalograss is a prairie grass that is native to the midwestern United States. It is a warm-season grass that is primarily used in low-input lawns. One of the things that makes it unique from other lawn grasses is that it has male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers on separate inflorescences. These are usually present on different plants (dioecious) but can also be found on the same plant (monecious). It grows best in full sun or areas that receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
