{"product_id":"buffalo-grass-buchloe-dactyloides","title":"Buffalo Grass (Buchloe dactyloides)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuffalo Grass is the ultimate low-maintenance turf alternative, offering a rugged and water-wise solution for sunny landscapes. This legendary shortgrass species once covered vast stretches of the American Great Plains, supporting massive herds of bison. A warm-season perennial, it is incredibly tough, reaching only four to eight inches in height and spreading via stolons to form a dense, soft sod. Its fine-textured, grayish-green leaves turn a beautiful golden-tan in the winter. Native to the central United States and Mexico, it is perfectly adapted to dry, heavy soils and extreme temperatures. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant, with roots reaching up to five feet deep, and requires far less mowing and water than traditional lawn grasses. Beyond its use as a lawn, it provides vital habitat for ground-nesting birds. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an ideal choice for sustainable landscaping and erosion control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e May–Aug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 22 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/buchloe-dactyloides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Buffalo Grass\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926644134085,"sku":null,"price":3.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926644166853,"sku":null,"price":10.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926644199621,"sku":null,"price":20.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926644232389,"sku":null,"price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/1sScch_F5CpJsZ5u0J6DrmiyhATyqsXmu.jpg?v=1793123864","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/buffalo-grass-buchloe-dactyloides","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
